    Calling Tools In BobCAD

    Creating Tools and Calling Tools for any CAD CAM system is very important. Over the last 2 version of our software we have made improvements, but as always we can still do better.

    Cast your vote on what type of tool system / options you would want most.

    I agree that BC made huge improvements over the old V2007/V22 and yes better is good

    Be nice to have something like the attached pic, Tool Manager that can create tools, cribs and has a "dynamic" graphic that changes with the data input for the tool and covers most things needed when creating tools etc.

    FYI Image from a software that is from 2004, 8 years back

    We have a tool library set up on our machine and in BobCAD. Do people actually use system tools/automatic tools?

    Yes... It only adds tools YOU TYPE in.. It doesnt just make random long lists of unwanted tools. (Please dont bring up the default tool)

    Ok. I think I have a better understanding now. System tools are manual tools that you specify on the fly. Automatic/default tools are the ones that I'm having trouble with. I'll have to figure out the issues that I'm having.
