Create an empty tool library in CAM Assist, then fill it by adding tool assemblies or copying tools into it. To bring in a library from your CAM package instead, see Import a tool library or machine into CAM Assist.
Create the library
- In the header, click My Shop, then Tool libraries.
- Click New library. (Create library in the ⋮ menu or the library picker does the same.)
- In Add tool library, enter a Tool library name. It must be unique.
- Click Create library.
CAM Assist opens the new, empty library. To fill it:
- Add tools one at a time. See Add a tool assembly to a tool library.
- Copy tools from another library. See Copy tools to another tool library.
If CAM Assist shows "Failed to create tool library…", click Create library again.
You can also start from the Tools stage: in Choose tool libraries, click New library. It takes you to My Shop > Tool libraries, where you create the library as above. To use the new library on your part, choose it in the Tools stage afterwards. See Add or remove tool libraries for a part.
Rename a library
- Open the library in My Shop > Tool libraries.
- Click ⋮ (Library actions) and choose Rename library.
- Type the new Library name and click Save.
Only your own (Custom) libraries can be renamed. CloudNC libraries and the session library can't.
