    Tool Table

    This problem happens when in Edit Tool Table.

    2021.08.12 Software

    I set the axis coordinates in Toolchange Position under the Tool Change tab,and click Update followed by OK.
    When I return to check what I have entered, I find the Toolchange Position coordinates have reverted to zero, but the values have been relocated as a Tool Offset under the Offset tab.

    If this is correct behaviour, then can someone please explain how it works.

    Thanks. Martin.

    Thanks for that.

    Something else I have noticed is that if you make changes under the Speed & Feed tab, then eventually, the edit fields 'grey out' and become uneditable. Only a restart of TNG seems to bring it back to life for a while.

    Here you go.

    Under the Parameters tab, I changed the tool material from Carbide to HSS and it became 'greyed out' after that.

    Do you have valid license and connected controller?
    This feature requires valid license.

    Re: Tool Table

    That sounds like the answer.

    I have a controller with a valid license, but I'm running in simulation mode on a different computer at home.
    I'll try again on the CNC connected computer.
