metric file to inches???
Hi-
I am working with a tool file that was created in millimeters by the manufacturer and thus must abide by copyright laws. All of my programs are written for inches and therefore I need to convert this file to inches. Does anyone know how I could do this in Vericut?

Re: metric file to inches???
VERICUT recognizes the units of the tools, so a 20 MM tool will not be 20 inches. You can be in a Inch session and use metric tools. Each tool has a unit parameter so the size will be translated automatically when used and therefore does not require any translation of the tool library.
The only limitation is that you cannot mix the units within a single tool assembly, like a metric holder with an inch cutter.
