Database Manager > Connections

Use the Connections page to list the existing tool holder connection-types and create, edit, and delete them. Connections describe the type of join between a machine tool and a holder. For example, a connection may identify the material present at the join, or the shape of the join. This enables you to match a machine tool and a holder more easily. Connection types are added to the database and then assigned to a tool or holder.

To add a connection to the database:

1. Click the dialog launcher button on the Tool tab > Database panel to display the Tool Database Manager dialog.

   

2. In the tree, select Connections to display the Connections page.

   

3. Create a Connection:
   1. Double-click Add Connection.
   2. Enter a connection name, for example Foam.

      

   3. Press the Enter key to display the connection in the list.
4. Click to close the dialog.

Note: To delete a connection, on the Connections page of the Database manager dialog, select a connection from the list and click .
