Faster changes to toolnumbers

Faster changes to toolnumbers

I organize my tools in the toolchanger based on the CAM operations. So there is a minimal time wasted between changing tools. So for example...cam op 1 -> tool 1, cam op 2 -> tool 2 etc.

 

There is of course a difference between the used tools for each program. Example: cam op 1 -> tool 6, cam op 2 -> tool 1.

 

At the moment I re-order the tools in the toolchanger for each program. Which is fine. But changing the tool number in the tool library is slow. It would be very helpful is there was a faster way to change tool numbers.

Sometimes I use a text editor because it's faster than changing everything in the tool library. But if it was built into Fusion (without changing the tool number in the tool library) it's less prone to errors

Same like this ?

At the moment i edit the tool number in the parts list, the hit "no" for the question of set feed/speed (if you change feed and speed in some operations with same tool, otherwise all manual settings are lost!)

But then you must generate the operation again...but why ?

Because just a other tool number ?

 

I hope there will be a better way to direct edit the numbers in the list without go to the settings.

Yep, didn't saw that post. But looks the same.
