Automatic Tool Renumbering

SolidCAM enables you to perform automatic tool renumbering.

If your tools are not arranged sequentially, the Renumber Tools option enables you to renumber the tools in the sequential order. The tools can also be renumbered from a specific number that you choose.

  1.  Right-click a tool in the list and choose the Renumber Tools command.

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

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

When you confirm the Tools Renumbering dialog box, all the tools are renumbered accordingly, starting from the number of this 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 cannot be renumbered.
