Using QuickCAM 2D is there a way to allow more than 8 tools to be added to the tool library when using the software in stand alone mode?
VR Milling is not installed on the same PC.

At the moment, the ability to add tools is not available in QuickCAM 2D standalone mode.
What you can do, is locate the .MOF file being used and edit it in notepad.
eg: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Denford\QuickCAM 2D.MOF
underneath:
Code: Select all
8_ZOFFSETVR=0
8_ZOFFSETREAL=0
8_LENGTH=0
8_DIAMETER=0
8_FLUTELENGTH=0
8_TOOLTYPE=10
8_DESCRIPTION=
add extra lines like this:
Code: Select all
9_ZOFFSETVR=0
9_ZOFFSETREAL=0
9_LENGTH=0
9_DIAMETER=0
9_FLUTELENGTH=0
9_TOOLTYPE=10
9_DESCRIPTION=
Code: Select all
10_ZOFFSETVR=0
10_ZOFFSETREAL=0
10_LENGTH=50
10_DIAMETER=2
10_FLUTELENGTH=10
10_TOOLTYPE=2
10_DESCRIPTION=
etc..
