Tool Dialog Toolkit tab
www.kxcad.net Home > CAM Index > EdgeCAM Index >
In this tab you make 'Toolkit Data' settings, that is settings that
are specific to the tool's inclusion in a particular job (the same tool
might have a different Turret Position in one job, as opposed to another).
Note that when editing Toolkit Data there is also a Mounting tab, a
Notes tab and an Additional tab in the dialog, with job-dependent settings.
These tabs are also used to edit the tool's 'ToolStore data' (the default
data for the tool when not being used from a job). Do not be confused
over which set of properties you are editing - the presence of the Toolkit
tab indicates you are editing Toolkit Data.
You will have opened the dialog, for example, from Toolkit Assistant
when adding a tool to a job.
Notes on selected items:
|
Comment |
If this is left blank, the Comment in the EdgeCAM toolchange dialog
reverts to the ToolStore data Comment. |

Specification |
Use the  button to link to
a document, or the  button to open an already-linked document.
The documents can be in plain text (.txt) or Word (.doc) format, for example.
The document remains outside the database, so should be kept in the same
relative path to the database file.
If no path is specified, it defaults to the path of the ToolStore database
(.mdb) file (for example 'installation folder\Cam\Tstore'). |
