Camworks Tool Cribs
Camworks Tool Cribs
(OP)
Can I save a tool crib from one drawing and import it into another drawing?
I am new to Camworks and I have not had any luck with these. Do you have to make a custom crib for each drawing that you make or does each user have to save his own tool crib?
My experience with this progame is so minimal I don't even know if I am asking the right question.

Within a part in CAMWorks, you can export the data then import into a similar part.
I'm not familiar enough with CAMWorks to know what a Tool Crib is.

As far as the crib, it is part of the machine set up. You have to have the machine set up correctly before you can do anything else with CamWorks. If the tool crib is not set up correctly, it will not create the correct G code.
just as an aside, on the forum list, it shows this thread to have 8 replies but I can only see one? Strange.

The tool crib that I wanted to use was created on an inch mil machine.
To resolve my problem, I just had to switch the part to use inch units.
I can say that Camworks is not very user friendly. I think that the more I use, the better I'll understand it. The alternative is a $500 DVD you can order for training.

Good for you to fix the problem.
