Hi

Can i erase tools that have reference like "FO_HELI-000510A-MACH" f.e.? Because of my sheet, i don't want to have any reference tool like this example.
In TopSolid i can't erase, but if i erase some file that has the strings with tools, i guess it should be possible. Where?

I'm creating proceses that need the right reference of tools, to transport to other PC i have to transport all Config or just some file to be substituted with tools?

Hi micos...

I know that the tools at TopSolid can be found in a txt file that can be open as "comma separated file" CSV in MS Excel...

We change and created our whole tool database using the Excel... saved the table as .csv files and renamed the files to the right extension... know I dont remember the extension...

Look for a file called ELEM.fic or ELEM.TXT ...

Thanks
