Tool measurement

You have already defined a finishing tool as the reference tool. For every additional
tool, you must determine its offset from the reference tool. During measurement,
the parameters of the measured tool are automatically offset from the parameters
of the reference tool. The measured parameters are separate for each tool and
are retained even after you have deleted the reference tool. In the example, the
roughing tool is added as a tool.
