    Fusion tool library import to Path Pilot

    Can someone please help an idiot get their fusion tool library imported to PP? I had to do a reset from PP2.10 back to 2.96, factory reset. It's a series three PCNC1100.

    I'm exporting a CSV from fusion (the file has the three million other columns from fusion that I don't need), but PP is loading either a blank tool lib or giving me an error that says tool index found if first cell, something like that.

    I tried exporting a dummy tool library file from PP, see pics it’s called “exported”, to see if there was anything I could figure out based on the error message I got about the tool index “found in first cell“. I added a row above all the rows in my actual tool library CSV file from fusion, I added the cell contents the same as they were in the tool library called “exported” that I exported from PP. I imported that file, it’s called “imported“ and it imports a blank tool library but no more status warning.

    Any help is appreciated

    This is what the tool lib looks like unedited straight out of fusion.

    I don't know much about importing a tool table straight into PP, however in all the other applications where I have had to convert data from one platform to the other I have learned that the import function is very picky about what it expects. Therefore, the csv you plan to import into PP needs to be identical to one that was exported except with different data in the data cells.
    Therefore, you need to force the fusion data into the same format as the exported.csv. I have attached a screen shot with the cells that need to be edited with the tool specific data. The non- highlighted cells need to be left alone.
    I hope that helps.

    I can do it for you. Please share your fusion tool library in csv format.
