Change multiple ops to different tool / Losing geometry?

Here is a quick question - 

 

If I want to change 10 CAM operations from tool 1 to tool 11, how can I do that en masse? 

 

Currently I just go and change each one individually to a new tool, it is a bit annoying. Hoping there is a fix.

 

Another Question - when I change the operations to a different tool from my library, my geometry selections are lost. Why is that?

 

Thanks!

Regarding your second question, are you updated to the latest version?

Regarding the first issue:

Are you simply looking at changing the number of the tool? That can be handled in the Tool Library.

Or are you looking at assigning a completely different tool to the operation? That needs to be handled at the operation level, and is not something that can be done wide-scale, either in the Tool Library or Compare and Edit

Hi Seth,

 

Weird, not on the latest version, 2.0.6231 I guess auto update didnt work for some reason.

 

I found that it only gets rid of my geometry if i pull from a library other than my file library. its bizarre but I will update.

 

Yes I want to change tools at the operation level on a large scale. Like if I want to change from a 6mm tool from my library to a 4mm tool from my library, and maintain the 6mm tool (instead of editing it locally). Id have to go and change each operation to the new 4mm tool. 

 

Thanks man,
