If a Tool Inventory (*.inv) is selected, the field list shown above displays.
When a Machine (*.mac) is chosen, the field list shown on the left displays.
The Export Tool List option allows you to export the tool information in the turret to the machine file or an entire tool inventory to a text format or Microsoft Excel (*.xls) worksheet format.
Notes:
You can export the tool information in the turret, in the machine file or the tool inventory as a text file, or export it to the Microsoft Excel (*.xls) worksheet format.
When values in the selected fields are empty or contain null values, the Export Utility substitutes a blank delimiter.
If you export just the tool inventory, the Die Clearances will only export up to four angles. This is different from the available angles that pertain to the turret setup in the machine (*.mac) file.
The Angle is the loaded or keyed angle for the tool in the station. This is not the same as the “Additional Angles.” The machine file will only pass a total of seven angle values.
To export the tool list:
1 Select Export Tool List from the File menu. The Open dialog box appears
2. If necessary, select either Machines (*.mac) or Tool Inventories (*.inv) from the Files of type: list. The dialog box lists the machine files or tool inventories in the default directories.
3. Navigate through the list and select the machine file or tool inventory you want to export.
4. Click Next > in the Open dialog box. The Export dialog box appears. The dialog box lists the fields in the scroll list to the left.
