Assigning input parameters to tool carriers

Before the control can factor the tool carrier into the calculations,
you must give the tool carrier template 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 a
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 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 and
measurement points, the additional ToolHolderWizard
tool does not execute any function when the
corresponding icons are activated.
