    Define a new tool!

    For the life of me I cant figure out how to simply add a new tool definition.
    There's no copy/paste, no dialog for add new tool.
    When I click the tool icon and select the ballmill for eg, I get an entry for the tool I've defined already. No obvious way to add another.

    Any tips??

    Thanks
    Steve

    I usually edit an existing tool and click the "Save as new tool" button.

    Hope this helps!

    Re: Define a new tool!

    I keep trying that. I defined one tool. If I select it and change it's characteristics it warns me that I am changing an exisiting tool. At no point is it giving me the opportunity to save the modified tool as a new tool (that box remains grayed out).
    I really dont get it...

    OK, oops. I was just being an idiot. I see how it works.
