I am pulling my hair out trying to add this 1/2" round over bit to my tool database. I have added 3 others to my form tools, no problem, but Amana doesn't have the database for this tool, Just the DXF file.
As soon as I click the form tool tab I get a "No Suitable Vector found" prompt
I have attached the vector file I have been using

The file they supplied is not useable. The line for the tip is not level, and the vector is made of hundreds of nodes.

I created the correct vector and saved it in this CRV file,

I noticed both of these issues but was not aware that they would present a problem.
I guess you can teach an "Old Dog" new tricks.

Thanks so much

Re: Adding Amana tool 56144
The number of nodes wouldn't be an issue but you can't use a vector that would lead to the tool having an undercut.

Thanks again.
Hopefully I'll remember that the next time.
