Change, copy or remove many tools in a library in one go, instead of opening each tool.
Before you start
The tools must be in your own library. CloudNC tools can only be copied. See Copy tools to another tool library.
Select the tools
- In the header, click My Shop, then Tool libraries, and pick the library.
- Tick the box on each tool, or tick the box in the header to select every tool shown. Filter the list first to narrow it down.
A bar shows how many tools are selected, with the actions below. Only one bulk action runs at a time.
Actions
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Duplicate | Adds a copy of each selected tool to the library. |
| Allowed usages | Opens Assign allowed usages. Click a usage to cycle it between no change, enabled and disabled for the selected tools, or use Add all, Remove all or Clear all for a tool type. For ball mills the usages include Wall finishing. Check the summary, then click Done. |
| Add stock materials | Allows the selected tools to cut a material. CAM Assist then considers these tools for parts in that material. |
| Remove stock materials | Stops the selected tools being used for a material. |
| Remove | Deletes the selected tools after you confirm. This can't be undone. |
| Copy to library | Copies the selected tools to another library. |
If a button is greyed out, hover over it to see why.
If only some tools could be changed, CAM Assist says so, for example "Removed <n> selected tools. <m> failed." and refreshes the list. Run the action again on the tools that failed.
