Tool Table File

[sgoedvolk]

Preparing a new machine for our Mach3. Have everything copied and running except I can't find the tool table file!

Can someone please give me a name or tell me where it should be.

Thanks,
Shane

The ToolFile is called tool.dat, but it is not excessable outside of MACH (that I know of). It is possible to export and maybe import the data through a VB script.

Its called tools3.dat and will be located in the macro folder of the profile you use, for example if you use the standard Mach3Mill profile it will be found in C:\Mach3\macros\Mach3Mill.
Similarly there is one for the offsets, its called fixtures.dat.
Both can be copied over to another drive/computer and it is also a good idea to back them up in case they get corrupted.

Hood do you know what the TOOLS.dat file is in the main Mach dir?

No but I will guess that it is possibly the default that is copied to the macro folder the first time you set up some tool offsets. If I remember right then when you first install Mach there is no tool3.dat in your macro folder and it only appears after you have entered some values in the table.
Just a guess though.
