    why are my tools angled?

    I simply created some new tools and proceeded to align them, the default values are 0 for tilting of the tools, but in the drawing you can see they are tilted at odd angles. I croped the drawing closer to the values as to make the screenshot smaller. My WNMG tool is correctly aligned, but the parting and DCMT are crooked. See attached screenshot.

    I don't know why, that was why I was asking what version. I wanted to know if it was an older version. Since it is 2017, I will have to look into it.

    According to text support, and without seeing the post, they believe that your VMID file, one of the post files, is not setup correctly. Please contact your local reseller or from whom you received the post.
