Hello!

In NX3 setting tools feeds and speeds is solved almost as I hoped.Retrieving tools geometry is still poor.One way is to create tools in separate PRT file,second is write them to tool_database.dat.Only in last one there is only one record of a tool holder.Saving in PRT file is better since you can better define tool holder geometry.Retrieving from file is not so elegant.
What kind of other solutions are there?Creating tools using API?

With greetings,
Henry

Aikon,

Could you please explain it to me how to create tool and feed library in NX3? I would prefer to use part files.

Thank you in advance for your answer.
