    How to set Default Tools-permanently.

    I'm using FC 2017. Is there way to prevent FC from choosing default tools? I would like to set two tools for roughing and finishing, respectively. Is there way to avoid FC's very tedious habit of choosing tools I would never use, and having to select "search" for another tool?

    Thanks for any help.

    Re: How to set Default Tools-permanently.

    I found one way to do this: Since FC defaults to the largest viable tool in the tool crib, I went into the properties of all the tools larger than my desired default cutters, and selected "Never select this tool" under Operations.
