creating new tool lists

Post by stankern »

Can the tool list be added to say, round over bits ,spirals bits 2 flute bits
When i tried new and a new name it would not allow an entry,is there a way its really not that big of a deal
but would be nice to creat a custom tool list using titles that are not present
thanks if someone can assist

If you mean the drop down list that appears when adding a new tool then no that can't be added to.

I'm not sure why you would want to as you can call the actual tool anything you want so I might be misunderstanding the question.

I don't have Aspire, but I believe VCarve Pro is the same, is this what you're after? Just click the "New Group" button for a new group to name as you see fit :wink:
