MD20360 $MC_TOOL_PARAMETER_DEF_MASK bit 9 = 1 (definition of tool parameters)
Deselecting an axial DRF offset (DRFOF) also deletes an existing tool offset (handwheel
override in tool direction).
Note

Overview

Tool parameters
A tool cutting edge is clearly defined with the following details:
● Tool type (end mill, drill, etc.)
● Geometrical description
● Technological description
The geometrical description, the technological description and the tool type are mapped to tool
parameters for each tool cutting edge.
The following tool parameters are available:
