Custom Tool Creation Issue


Recommended Posts

I opened the DXF file and translated the geometry so the left end of NOCUT was on the orgin and resaved it as DXF

Then I created a new tool, selected the DXF file and got the tool intersection error

I entered 173.2408° in the drill tip field and zoomed  out.. and you've got a drill

So, I'm an anal SOB. I like having tool files for my repeaters in the sense that the tool is defined, I can visually see it in MC, and it has the median F/S programmed for it. But I'm having big issues importing this file into the tool form. Normally I would covert this geometry into a .stp file and import, but I keep getting the error, "Problem with custom geometry file or data. Check for gaps, overlaps, or blanked/hidden entities."

Man, MC is crabby!
