tool library - NX3
(OP)
in NX3, is it possible to upload tools to a library. I have found the way to "retrieve tools", which i've been able to do with the sample tools from install. Now I'd like to put the tools I've been using in various projects into a library for future use, hopefully by uploading. any and all suggestions welcomed!!

RE: tool library - NX3
The tool library is controled from a database file
for example C:\Program Files\UGS\NX 3.0\MACH\resource\library\tool\english\tool_database.dat
You can manualy edit this file and add tools by ading additional data fields.
In NX4 they added the option to add tool to library from the tool creation dialog, a big improvement.
