how to draw custom tool holders?

[kmcgheeCMFPG]

There use to be a way to do it, I drew my drag engraver, but I can't find it in the current version. Was it removed, moved?

Hi @kmcgheeCMFPG 

I am sure that development will increase support for creating/importing models for tool holders in the future.  As of now, I only know of an add-in that will do this for you.

You can draw the holder or import the holder in Fusion and then run the attached add-in.

Take a look at the video on how the add-in works......https://www.nyccnc.com/solid-model-to-tool-holder/

I've ran into issues when the add-in breaks,  if that happens, the workaround I have found is to:

1. Export the model as a .step file
2. Upload the .step file to Fusion in a new project
3. Run the add-in again.

Thanks, yes I know it was but since the new tool library update I could not find it. I did last night though.
