Automatic tool selection for different materials when nesting

Unread post by Exakt »

Hello!

Is there a simple method to get an automatic tool choice for a specific material in nesting?
When I want to machine a softwood like pine I want a specific tungsten mill and MDF etc calls for a diamond.
I have it in a manual but it is too dense. Support could not figure it out...

see image attached this still requires that your parts are defined correctly, and any custom materials are setup in CAM category.
