After creating toolpath for a feature and going back to edit some input and then reposting the software will change tool numbers. My 1999 Miltronics lathe will only recognize tool numbers 1 thru 24. I setup the Tool Library with tools 1 thru 22 as tools most commonly
used in the correct category and numbered all the other tools that I have as 23 or 24. I deleted ALL the tools and numbers that came with the software. Any ideas on how to avoid and or correct this.
Do you have a proper "Crib" setup for each program with the tools for that program in it and do you also have the Automatic Tool numbering unchecked, if so then your tool numbers should not change in the "Crib". See images below.

Rob,Thanks for your comment. I did have the automatic tool numbering turned off. I talked to tech today and they confirm that this is a problem with V30 that they are aware of. But no fix. I found out I can program in V26 or V27 and open and backplot in V30,just don't save file. Backplotting is the main reason I bought V30 so it is a fairly easy workaround.
