So I made a custom tool and modified a tool holder. When I change the protrusion length, all it does is change the gap between the tool and holder. This won't work for collision checking. I am using V31 Bobcad.
Thanks for any help!

Version 32, sorry...
Hope this works!
This videos shows the steps I've used in the past.

If you are running V33, why not create a tool on the machining cloud and just import it?

Thanks for the Quick Tip. Pretty sure my tool geo is correct. Here is a screen shot of what I get. The holder always says the same distance away from the tool. If I shorten the protrusion, the back end of the tool gets shorter and the holder won't move down with it. I have a demo version of 33 but ran out of time to try the machiningcloud. Is anyone using it succesfully?
