Copy one tool, several tools, or a whole library into one of your own tool libraries. This is how you get an editable copy of built-in CloudNC tools or of the session tools from your CAM package.
Copy tools or a library
- In the header, click My Shop, then Tool libraries, and pick the library to copy from.
- Start the copy:
- One tool: click ⋮ on the tool's row and choose Copy to library…. (Or click the row and use Copy to library… in the details pane.)
- Several tools: tick the tools and click Copy to library in the selection bar.
- A whole library: click ⋮ (Library actions) next to the library name and choose Copy to library….
- In Copy to library, tick the libraries to copy into. Only your own libraries are listed. Use Search tool libraries to find one.
- Click Copy to selected. To put the tools in a new library instead, click Copy to new library. CAM Assist names it "My Tool Library".
- Check Results: each library shows Copied or Failed. Click Done.
To see the copied tools, pick the target library in the library picker.
If a library shows Failed, run the copy again for that library.
Copying session tools
When you copy tools from the session library (shown as From CAM session) and some of their presets have no stock material, CAM Assist asks which stock materials the tools apply to. Pick them with Specify material before you copy. It starts with the material selected for your part.
Copy within the same library
- To copy a whole library under a new name, click ⋮ (Library actions) and choose Duplicate library.
- To copy tools within one of your own libraries, use Duplicate on the tool, in the details pane, or in the selection bar. Tools in CloudNC and session libraries can't be duplicated; copy them to your own library instead.
