I need to modify the tool library in VR-Milling then copy that library to other computers in our lab; so that students do not need to make the tools and so the tools appear every time the software opens.

You will need to edit the library to how you want it on one PC, locate the tool library file and just overwrite the same file on all other PC's.
(All of these files can be opened in Notepad or any text editor / viewer, but probably won't open with the correct program by default)
For VR Milling version 2:
The tool library file used by VR is set by the entry in this file:
C:\Program Files\Denford\VRMilling\windmill.ini
Code: Select all
Tool Library=C:\Program Files\Denford\VRMilling\WindMill.MTD
The tool library, tools and offsets is set in this file by default:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Denford\AllOffsets.MOF
If the software is installed differently for any reason, the actual file being used can be determined by looking at software's configuration file:
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Denford\VRMilling5.INI
as shown below:
Code: Select all
[Offsets]
Work Offset File=C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Denford\AllOffsets.MOF
Tool Offset File=C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Denford\AllOffsets.MOF
Library File=C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Denford\AllOffsets.MOF
