where is my tool

[Mark Fese]

Today I created a tool in the shape manager for a finger pull edge detail, everything seemed to be fine I took the closed contour to save it in my profile tools and all went as planed. I then procedded to take one of the doors from the job to my part editor went to profile edge (single) my top edge clicked on next to view my tool selections clicked on the tool and a message appeared saying "closing tool selection dialog" and the screen returns to my door with the top edge path still highlighted? I checked all the other tools that I have designed and all have the TOL suffix same as this one yet I can't access it. Hate to have to remake it and have the same problem happen. anyone! thanks Mark.

Did you save the geometry (not the tools itself, the geometry that you are prompted to save when exiting Shape Manager) for the tool? If so, you can open the X_T file and recreate the tool from it.

Also if you saved the geomerty, you can post it and someone else can try creating the tool and see if they have any problems with it.

Wow, I almost downloaded that until I figured out it was the old 'pull my finger' trick.

Nice try.

Just kidding. I got the same result.
