I wounder if you could have an .ini file for each job which calls out a matching .tbl file. This way, you can have as many total tools as you want as long as any one job doesn't use more that 53(?) tools. (Agenda bump: If someone happens to be in the tool code anyway, maybe we could earmark an on-the-fly tool (wear) offset?) -- Kirk Wallace (California, USA http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ Hardinge HNC lathe, Bridgeport mill conversion, doing XY now, Zubal lathe conversion pending Craftsman AA 109 restoration) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Register now and save $200.
