Customising NXCAM tool libraries
Customising NXCAM tool libraries
(OP)
Hi guys:
I want to know, how can I configure separate tool libraries,
each one independent from the other one, for example:
and I want to know how can I select the library, with some customized toolbar or C++ programing.
I am using NX6 update version .
tool_libraries_1--- Iscar tool1, wnt tool2, Iscar tool2
tool_libraries_1--- Iscar tool3, wnt tool4, Iscar tool6
tool_libraries_1--- Iscar tool7, wnt tool8, Iscar tool4
Thanks.

RE: Customising NXCAM tool libraries
For example:
tool_database_IP.dat.
tool_database_LM.dat.
tool_database_PO.dat.
And know how can I choose concrete tool database, of these three ones. I have yo customize tool bar or do some C++ code
on some archive??
Thanks.
RE: Customising NXCAM tool libraries
You could create a macro to load them and assign the macro to a toolbar.
This is the quick and simple way

RE: Customising NXCAM tool libraries
Create a copy of the entire resource\library\tool folder for each machine.
Then create a copy of cam_general.dat (or whatever configuration you use) for each machine in the custom folder. Edit each one, and change LIBRARY_TOOL to point to the different paths.
Now changing a configuration will change the tool library that is read. If you do this a lot, save a role while each configuration is set, and then the role change will change the connfiguration.

RE: Customising NXCAM tool libraries
I don't know how to do this.
change LIBRARY_TOOL to point to the different paths
Can you explain me I am so new user on NX, sorry.
Thanks.
RE: Customising NXCAM tool libraries
each tool database? tool_database_1.dat, tool_database_2.dat
tool_database_3.dat
Where Ihave to go ti UGii some fime to relocate this three databases?
RE: Customising NXCAM tool libraries
tool_database_1.dat,tool_database_2.dat etc
I have to copy the entire tool folder?
Located on NX6\MACH\resource\library\tool
and change the name of the folder for example?
tool2
Later go to cam_general.dat and add the LIBRARY_TOOL2
on tool2 folder.
And for finishing, do a macro and assign a toolbar to this macro.
I think I am going well but I am missing something.
Could anybody help me please.
RE: Customising NXCAM tool libraries
Why do you need separate tool libraries?
There is a lot of work required to build multiple libraries, especially if they have duplicated data.

RE: Customising NXCAM tool libraries
because my boss tell me to configure in this way.
I have customized a tool bar, with tool libraries 1 and tool libraies 2, but I don't know how can I link this tool libraries separated to Mach\resource\library\tool1 folder and tool2 folder, maybe by macros?? I don´t know how to link a specific tool and holder database. Like tool database_1.dat
and tool_database2.dat
I have tested some ways and I get errors...
Thanks
RE: Customising NXCAM tool libraries
For example tool_database_yasda.dat and tool_database_hermle.dat
I want to get this tool database with a customized tool bar on NX, and inside this tool bar insert the journals. I have configured the tool bar, but I don't know how can I link this tool bar to the databases, separately on NXCAM.
For example, I want to mill one piece with this tools, tool_database_yasda.dat and with other part I want to use other tools, this ones for exmaple tool_database_hermle.dat
RE: Customising NXCAM tool libraries
Have you attended the CAM customization class?

No I so new user on NXCAM module.
Is any information on NXopen documentation?
Or how can I know the steps to customize it.
Thanks.
