Hi, the machine is an SCM tech z1 and is nothing special. Is a cnc for wood working that have a set of horizontal drills, like plenty of other machine.

The "problem"is that if I want to use the side drill I need to specificate the tool orientation manually, while simply the tool 58 can machine only from the right side of the piece (Z orient on the X wcs), the 68 from left (X reverse) etc.

All work perfectly, but is time consuming and can cause error if I want to change the orientation of the panel or if I select the wrong line fo reference of the tool orientation.

The perfect and efficient way to use it would be to connect the tool orientation with a specific axis of the wcs and save it on a template.

The problem is that is not possible and each time I insert this machining I need to select the tool orientation in the correct way or orient all the panels in the design how would be machine, orient a full set and copy it through all the setup.

As you imagine it require time and is a really stupid way to spend time in, it can be easily automate and error free.
