    X5...Changing Tool Number

    When I change the tool number in the Tool Manager, then re-select it in the Operation Manager ...

    Results are tool number remains the old number and tool height is the new number ...

    Also, if I change in Control Definition "Add to tool" to "From Tool" only the tool number changes, but not the height nor diameter ... then post, tool number, height and diameter are still old numbers ...

    Are you changing the diameter number and length number to match the tool/head number? Those should normally all be the same number.
    (this is in the actual "define tool" pages)

    Also, leave it on "from tool" in the control def's, and make sure the

    "use the head number to replace the tool number"

    and

    "use the head number to 'add' for the offset registers"

    boxes are unchecked.



    IOW - the way I normally have it is the Tool #, Head #, Dia. offset number, and Length offset number all match.
