How I can copy the library tools from NX6 to NX7?

 

[andrenxcam]

replace the resource files mach libray tool_database of tools for nx6 NX7
I suggest you keep a backup of this file in case something wrong.

but I did so and it worked.

Hello aer73,

You can copy library tools as .prt template or

the .dat document form NX6 to NX7.

Can you specify, what you want please?

Hi andre,

You can create an independent template from, too_database.dat.

A single .prt file with all tools you need and use it as a

template, not linked with the other database.

If you have not added or changed any classifications or parameters, then you can use the same tool_database.dat. Occasionally, we require that the tool database files be converted (Tools --> Convert Tool Database), but there were no format changes between 6 and 7.

As a general practice for ALL of the CAM resource files, I recomment you merge (or at least compare) your changes in to the newest files, because we add new tools and make corrections to the existing tools. If you just copy your old files, you will miss the enhancements in the new release.
