Harvey Tool catalog for HSMWorks

[Anonymous]

The Harvey Tool profiles can be downloaded for Fusion 360.  Is there any way to plug them into HSMWorks?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @andreprofish

Thanks for posting! You should be able to export the Harvey tool library from Fusion 360 as an HSMLIB file and then add it to HSMWorks.

With that said, I noticed that this method did not bring in the dimensional parameters for the tools. This is a bug and I've logged CAM-11237 with the development team to provide a fix so this workflow will work. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

I did find that you can work around this by copying the tools into Excel and then into the HSMWorks tool library. I've shown this process in the screencast below. Please let me know if you have any questions!

As a note, the Harvey end mill library is a large file and I would recommend copying only a few tools at a time using the Excel workaround to avoid performance issues.

What are you trying to do? The easiest way to get the Harvey tools into HSMWorks' tool library is to download the .hsmlib from cam.autodesk.com/tools. These should import properly into the tool library.
