To Set Up Cutting Tools
To access the Cutting Tool Manager, do one of the following:
• Click
Machining >
Cutting Tool Manager (this option becomes available after you set up an operation and a machine tool).
• On the Tools tab of the Milling Work Center dialog box, click Tools.
• At the time of machining a feature, click
next to the
Cutting Tool text box in the feature-specific machining dialog box (for example,
Pocket Milling).
Either of these actions opens the Tool Setup dialog box, with its name preceded by the name of the current machine tool. From the Tool Setup dialog box, you can create, modify, and delete tools, as well as review the tools already defined for the current machine.
