  1. Select Tool Manager… from the Manufacturing menu.

  2. Click the Export button. The Tool Export dialog box comes up.

  3. Enter the name of the file to export under Export File. There are two different file types that are supported, xml and tdb. It is recommended that you use the xml format since it supports exporting form tools and custom drawn holders. To change the type, click on the image\btn-file-browse.gif button and select tdb as the type.

  4. Select the crib to export.

  5. In the Tool Groups list select the groups you want to export.

  6. Use the image\btn-check-toolgroups.gif button to select all groups. Use the image\btn-uncheck-toolgroups.gif to unselect all groups.

  7. Click Export.

  8. Click Close.

The file created is tab delimited text. You can edit the file in a spread sheet if desired. This file can now be imported into FeatureCAM. See How to import tooling for more information.
