NEW Tool Library issue under post processor tab

[Anonymous]

Hello ....

When i use the NEW Tool Library i believe there is a potential issue that could cause a "CRASH" on your nice expensive CNC machine if you miss filling in one of the fields when editing your tool number output in the Tool Library Post Processor Tab.... 

In the NEW Tool Library if I edit "Tool Number" to 20 for example, the "Length Offset" and the "Diameter Offset" should be link together with the Tool Number field and change along with the edit you made .... THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN NOW  .... BE AWARE PEOPLE"  ..... That was how it used to function in the OLD Tool Library pages... They were linked before....

99% of the time you want the values to be the same .... Example .... (Fanuc)  -- T20 M6 , G43 Z1.0 H20,  ..... If you miss editing the "Length Offset" value then you could be addressing the incorrect value stored on you CNC controller and if your lucky the value is larger then the actual tool loaded in the spindle and you cut air, but if you are unlucky and your value is smaller than the tool in the spindle you will be doing some explaining to the boss and putting out lot's  of his cash to fix your machine and work piece.

Please AutoDesk ..... Make this functionality linked again to the tool number !!!  It would be much better and safer for your users...

Keep up the great work !

@Anonymous  Thanks for bringing this observation to the team and other users attention.

The development team where aware of this and have added the linked offsets back into the post processor tab and you should see that functionality soon.

Thanks
