Configuring the "New Tool" window

<NEWTOOLCONFIGURATION> tag

You use the "New Tool" dialog to supply a new tool with specific tool data before creating the

tool or before loading the tool to a magazine location. These are typically the tool size and/or

the tool location type because these parameters can no longer be changed when the tool is

loaded. It is also useful to display the tool type and the tool names in this window.

Specify the parameters in the <NEWTOOLCONFIGURATION> tag that are to be displayed in

the "New Tool" dialog.

The number of parameters is limited by the size of the window.

</NEWTOOLCONFIGURATION>

Configuring the "New Multitool" window

<NEWMULTITOOLCONFIGURATION> tag

You use the "New Multitool" dialog to supply a new multitool with specific multitool data before

creating the multitool or loading it into to a magazine location. Multitool data typically includes

the number of multitool locations and spacing between locations, as these parameters cannot

be changed once the multitool has been created. The same applies to the multitool size and/

or multitool location type as to the tool size and tool location type. These parameters, too,

cannot be changed once they have been loaded into the tool. It is also a good idea to display

the multitool name in this window.

Entry of the identifier of the tool parameter. "X" specifies the order in which the pa‐

rameters are displayed in the window.

The identifier of the tool parameter can be found in Chapter:
