Backing up setup data

Apart from programs, you can also save tool data and zero point settings.
You can use this option, for example, to back up tools and zero point data for a specific
machining step program. If you want to execute this program at a later point in time, you will
then have quick access to the relevant settings.
Even tool data that you have measured on an external tool setting station can be copied easily
into the tool management system using this option.
Backing-up job lists
If you wish to backup a job list, which contains ShopTurn and G code programs, you obtain
dedicated selection boxes to backup the tool data and zero points.
Note
Backing up setup data from part programs
Setup data from part programs can only be backed up if they have been saved in the
"Workpieces" directory.
For part programs, which are located in the "Part programs" directory, "Save setup data" is not
listed.
