New V12 SQL Tool Database
Is anyone using the new SQL ToolStore?
Did you have any problem converting your TStore from V11 to V12?
During the conversion process it gave some cryptic error message about a missing corner radius. At this point I'm not sure if it converted the entire tool library or if I'm missing data.
I spent a lot of time refining my TStore to add 1/64 drill sizes, get the right gage lengths for machine simulations and I would hate to loose that information. It's to difficult to put in.
I wish there was a Text Export of the TStore data. It would be easier to edit the TStore in an ASCII format and then Import it back into the TStore. It would be easier to modify if I could "Find and Replace" or "cut and paste" tools between different libraries.
I wish there was some way I could grab tools from one TStore and copy them to another TStore.
But there's a lot of things I'd like to see changed about how they handle tools. Automatic tool numbering would be a good start.
