NX tool library Catalog Number

NX tool library Catalog Number

NX tool library Catalog Number

(OP)
Hello,

In the NX (7.5) tooldefinition dialog there is a tab "Information" where you can enter a Catalog Number. I believe this can also be string.
My question is where is this information stored ? Because when i look in the UGII_BASE_DIR\MACH\resource\library\tool_database.dat this information isn't there.

The problem is that when I export the tool to the library (with a catalog name), and retrieve it back the catalog number is refilled with the tool library reference ???

Hope someone can direct me into the right direction, to use the NX library correctly.

Kind regards
Twan

RE: NX tool library Catalog Number

The libref is put in to the catalog number when you retrieve the tool.
I recommend using "Description", which will export and import as you are asking.

Thanks for the reply,
A bit strange that the libref info is doubled to the catalog number, but oke.

I need additionel info stored in the database, since we want combine two databases with toolinfo into one, and keep the transition into that smoothly. Unfortunatly we are use the "Disciption" field already for additional info.

Is it doable to expand the tooldatabase with another field ? I can customize the query and result dialogs (with the info described in the helppages), but didn't find help on expanding tooldatabase with new fields.
