Parameterizing tool carriers

Before the control can factor the tool carrier into the calculations,
you must give the tool carrier templates the actual dimensions.
These parameters are entered in the additional ToolHolderWizard
tool.
Save the parameterized tool carriers with the extension .cfx under
TNC:\system\Toolkinematics.
The additional ToolHolderWizard tool is mainly operated with the
mouse. Using the mouse, you can also set the desired screen layout
by drawing a line between the areas Parameter, Help graphics, and
3-D graphics by holding down the left mouse button.
The following icons are available in the additional ToolHolderWizard
tool:
Icon Function
Close the additional tool
Open file
Switch between wire frame model and solid object
view
Switch between shaded and transparent view
Display or hide transformation vectors
Show or hide names of collision objects
Display or hide test points
Show or hide measurement points
Return to starting view of the 3-D model
If the tool carrier template does not contain
any transformation vectors, names, test points,
or measurement points, then the additional
ToolHolderWizard tool does not execute any function
when the corresponding icons are activated.
