Specific search in the tool management lists

There is a search function in all tool management lists, where you can search for the following
objects:
● Tools
– You enter a tool name. You can narrow down your search by entering a replacement
– You enter the D number and activate if necessary, the check box "Active D number".
● Magazine locations or magazines
If only one magazine is configured, then the search is made according to the magazine
location.
If several magazines are configured, then it is possible to search a specific magazine
location in a specific magazine or just to search in a specific magazine.
● Empty locations
The empty location search is realized using the tool size. The tool size is defined by the
number of half locations required to the right, left, top and bottom. All four directions are of
significance for a box magazine. For a chain magazine, a disk-type or a turret, only the half
locations to the right and left are of significance. The maximum number of half locations,
which a tool can occupy is limited to 7.
If the lists with the location type are used, then the empty location search is made using
the location type and location size.
You can enter the location type as numerical value or as text depending on the particular
configuration.
