The fastest way to locate a tool within the Inventor HSM Tool Library is to use the built-in filtering function located at the top of the Tool Library dialog box.
The filter drop-down list allows you to choose between the various filtering options, and the search field on the right allows you to enter the corresponding text or number to be listed.
The different search options
The default is to search in all text fields, including the description field.
The other options can be used should you wish to limit the search to a specific field. For example: To find all tools with a 5 mm diameter, choose Diameter is and then enter 5 in the search field.
Searching for tools with a diameter of 5 mm
Filtering is always done on all the tools shown in the tool list. The filtering can be combined with the Search Folders feature to limit the listed tools further.
