Tool Library

[killerkite4]

My Plasma Cutter does not show in the tool library when I begin the process of Manufacture. All it shows in the setup but is AVID CNC - EX 3 Axis. Nothing in My Machines.

It will, however, show up in 2D Profile Cutting. But when completing the setup is defaults back to AVID CNC - EX 3 Axis and errors out.

I'm not sure I'm understanding what you're saying, but it sounds like you're mixing up your machine and your tool library. When you make a Setup that takes a machine from your machine library. When you make a Toolpath it takes a tool from your tool library.

My machine does not show up there...? All I have in there is something that does not belong to me...

Ok, you either need to download or make your machine definition. That's pretty easy to do and one of the least important things to setup. Honestly, unless your post requires it for homing or you are doing multaxis work you don't really even need it.

More importantly you do need a postprocessor for your machine and an accurate tool definition. I don't even know what machine you have so I can't help you there.

I would recommend going through a couple of tutorial videos.
