    Mastercam 9 Tool Library

    Is there a way to have all the tools in the tool library come out as tool # 1 with the length and diameter offsets also at #1 ?
    Would this be done in the post processor or does every tool in the library need to be edited ?
    Any help is appreciated. Thank

    Probably easiest to edit the post.

    Cheer up! At least you have a 'library'. Using BobCad...library with nothing on the shelves.

    Do it in the post.

    When I first started with MC many many years ago I had a knee mill.
    The post processor was setup to call all tools #1 because all the tool changes were done manually. I dont know if that is possible in MC9 but
    you must be very careful or you will end up with a lot of broken tools.
