Scrolling through a flat list of tools is slow. Create a macro that reads a CSV (Excel) file using FILE READ commands, parses the tool names, diameters, and lengths, and auto-creates the entire tool library for a specific job number. Create a macro that reads a CSV (Excel)
Manual data entry is prone to typos. A macro will never accidentally type an extra zero on a spindle speed or forget to check a collision clearance box. How to Record Your First Macro
