Creating own tool library

Creating own tool library

Creating own tool library

(OP)
I want to create my own tools,holders(like end mills and Tool holders while using NX3 CAM) and want to save them so that I can use them again and again rather than filling every field again and again. Anybody knows how to do it in UG NX3?  Thanxs!

RE: Creating own tool library

There are text files that define feeds, speeds, tools, materials and other parameters under the CAM directory. UG can load data from these files and you can edit them to add your own tools. You can also set up templates that consist of work material, tool parameters and feeds that can be loaded from a master template file.

"Wildfires are dangerous, hard to control, and economically catastrophic."
"Fixed in the next release" should replace "Product First" as the PTC slogan.
