Renumber Tools

SolidCAM enables you to perform automatic tool renumbering.

In the image, the Tool numbers are not in order. The Renumber Tools option enables you to renumber the tools in the numeric order. The tools can also be renumbered from a specific number that you choose.

  1. Right-click on the group and choose the Renumber Tools command.

 

  1. You are prompted to enter a new number for the first tool.

The Sort by option enables you to assign numbers to tools according to the Operation/Tool sequence.

When you confirm the Tools Renumbering dialog box, the tools are renumbered accordingly, starting from the number of the first tool.

  1. Recalculate the CAM-Part. The CAM-Part must be recalculated to ensure that the GCode contains the correct tool number for each operation.

A tool marked as Permanent is not renumbered.
