Gauge Length not updating when changing Holder Geometry

[vpace91423]

We handle roughly 500 tools with thier own H# assigned for gauge length. Our posts then update the gauge length via G10 L#. Currently we have been using an entry in the Product ID equal to the gauge length of the tool previously measured. But when I export our excell spreadsheet I noticed the gauge length was not even close at times to our Product ID entry. Investigating it I found if you take a Maritol ER16 4.0 holder with a gauge length of 4.0624 and place a tool 2.0 below holder, Gauge Length in Fusion is 6.0624 which is correct. If I then go in and duplicate the tool and change the holder geometry to a total of 4.5624 length, the gauge length remains 4.0624. Anyone else run into this? If I build the holder from scratch it works correct. But if I take a vendor tool, it doesn't seem to refresh to the new lenght of the holder.

Dang a year with no answer. I've had the same issue, just rebuilt the tool and all was well. But really not well if I'm having to do this over and over again.

I found that the modification to the tool length was actually shifting the
tool up above the gauge line, therefore not updating the gauge length
correctly. There is a check box to indicate above gauge line. The fix for
me was to always look if there were any items checked above gauge line and
uncheck them. This would then calculate the tool correctly.

Where is this check box to indicate above gauge line, I'm not seeing it.

Thanks!

It is in the Holder Geometry when you edit a toolholder. Often, you need to
scroll up to see the lines that are checked. By unchecking them you have a
clean and calculated gauge length.

Sorry, but I still don't see what you're talking about...lol

I'm such an idiot....found it...lol

Thanks!!

Hope you didn't misunderstand me saying it has been a year and no response. I meant no one has responded to your original post in a year.
