Merge Tools
UpdatedJune 29, 2023

This tool is used to merge tools from another tur file into this turret. So, when the user creates a part, and wants to load some other turret into it, they can switch to the punch page, click on the Edit Turret, and then use the Merge command to merge it in the tur file that contains the tools they want. If the turret of the part is empty, there is no problem. Otherwise, MetaCAM will try to fit the new tools from the incoming turret as far as possible into other empty stations. If it is not possible, the new turret that is being loaded will take priority, and some tools from the existing turret might be dropped to accommodate the new turret.
