TOOL DATABASE

The tool database utility enables the user to store additional information about the tools listed in the linuxcnc tool.tbl file. This extra information is kept in a SQLITE database. On startup, the program checks if the database exists and creates one if needed. Data that exists in the system tool.tbl cannot be modified by this program. That data can only be modified by the tool_offsetview module.

Usage

Very little user action is required other than entering data into the parameter fields of the tool information panel. This panel appears on the right side of the tool_offset view in the TOOL page.
