Forced

This check is available ONLY if the operation is coming from a process.

Forced. In this case, the tool is linked to the operation. Even if  a re execute is done, TopSolid'Cam takes the same tool.

This option is dangerous. If the part changes no update of tool is done.

But this option is useful if the TopTool database is not up to  date and that we don't want for each re execute to remove the filters and select again the same tool.

Forced . This is the "normal" case. When a re execute is done, TopSolid'Cam asks again for a tool according to filters linked to the part to machine. So, if the part has changed, it's possible here to get in automatic a new tool.
