Tool Holder help

[JAMES GABEL]

I have been away from mastercam for a little while and I am getting back into it.  I have been making my libraries for the holders and cutters.  I noticed some of the tool paths you can add a holder and some you can not.  Below are two screen shots to show this.  The first screen shot shows a contour tool path that shows holder on the third option down.  The second screen shot is a flowline tool path and it has no options to show what holder.  can somebody help with this.

Yeah there are some ops you can not select the tool holder. To fix this I will use a contour tool path and select that tool and the holder i want. You can remove that contour path afterwords and the correct holder will stay on that tool in future operations in that machine group.

Thank You Slepydremr.  That worked.  That sucks that we have to do this that way.

I create a drill op on origin, call it "T3 SET HOLDER", and post ghost it.  That way if I need to adjust stickout or change holders I can pop back in and make the change.

That is how I handle this.
