How to Prioritize Tool Libraries in Cut Configs

Setting Preferred, Standard, and Backup tool libraries in a Cut Config tells Toolpath which tools to prioritize use of when generating machining plans and operations.

To prioritize use of tool libraries in a Cut Config:

1. Ensure all your applicable tool libraries have been imported to Toolpath. Please see How to Upload a Tool Library for more information. 
2. Create a new Cut Config and go to the Tool Libraries page. For more information on how to create a Cut Config, please see How to Create Cut Configs.
3. Select the applicable tool libraries by clicking on their names.
4. Click the kebab menu icon the right of the tool library names to select their prioritization. You can set tool libraries as Preferred, Standard, or Backup libraries:
   
   
   1. Preferred (Green Triangle) tool libraries will be prioritized and should be the tools you have in your machine - your most commonly used tools. 
   2. Standard (Blue Circle) tool libraries are tools you have around the shop, but might not be loaded in a machine or in a holder.
   3. Backup tool libraries tool libraries will only be used by Toolpath if no tool in a Preferred or Standard library can access a specific part feature. These are tools you'd prefer to avoid using, but can if you must.
      
5. Add vendor libraries with tools you could order in the Recommendations page. Libraries selected in the Recommendations page will only be suggested when a feature that cannot be machined with tools from your Preferred, Standard, or Backup libraries.
6. Save the Cut Config with by clicking the orange Save button in the upper right hand corner.
