Hi Charlie,

I was going to update my tool library. I have old tools I want to remove, also want to rename some existing ones. I need to add new ones. I know how to do all of this. My concern is all the projects I have done. I believe each project stores the tools needed for that job. How does the project recognize the right tool, is it by name, tool number, or some other way?   By renaming or reordering does the project tools get messed up ?  Hope that's clear enough...

Thank Joe

Hi Joe,

PixelCNC projects store the tools definitions in them, so any changes to your tool library won't affect them. This is so that users can share project files without requiring that they already have the tools defined in their library. The tool library is just a list of pre-defined tools so that users don't have to keep redefining the same tools for new projects, but the project doesn't rely on the library retaining those tools, they are effectively copied to the project.

Hope that helps!
