All data we have now is relevant for path creation now or in the future, while I cannot see the difference between paths being tooled by an SK40 or SK50 cone. As I said in the post with the data, the dimensions for the taper section are greyed out because we don't need them, however the taper numbe...

IMO it's worth looking at optional primary and secondary holder information if users want advanced simulations and crash avoidance.

To be honest I cannot see the benefit for Path workbench to know all these measures. To calculate paths it needs the diameter, the shape of the tool and the length, from some reference point, perhaps PTHL2+SHL+SO. What should the rest of the values be used for? Is it for crash avoidance? You are co...

Update: My current thoughts are to split the tooling in to 3 parts: 1. Primary tool holder 2. Secondary tool holder 3. Cutting tool I have started trying to rationalise how each type of holder can be represented. None of this work is completed but I would like to show what I have for the purposes of...

Stretch goal: maybe a user could put a tool list under version control by linking it to a github repo.

This would allow consistant tool tables to exist accross mulitple machines too. That would be very helpful indeed.

It is possible to access an export template button in the context menu.

Not sure if there is another way.

I think it would be really nice to be able to read the tool table from my CNC controller. I could then set up all my tools in just one place. That's another factor that I hadn't mentioned, that for some machines, there are variable stored in the control. For me, that would be a pain because the con...

What about storing speed and feed info for each tool?
