SprutCam tool library

I am setting up SC to run a project. I decided to create a tool library for this job, most of which are standard tool that I regularly use. Four of the tools are drills in drill chucks. When I enter these tools they stay until I click add a tool then they disappear. Is a drill not a machining tool? Can it only be entered In conjunction with the drilling job in the part being drilled, but not my tool library?

you have filters set to show used tools but you have not setup operations with any tools yet.
At any rate fiddle with the buttons circled in red until you see what you want. I tend to show all tools and not filter at all

Thanks Lane, simple enough solution. I tend not to mess with stuff when I don’t know what it does, as well as being able to extricate myself from what I’ve done.

I fully understand.
Sprutcam is not easy to learn or master.
One of the reasons I still use it after all these years.
I invested an enormous amount of time learning it back when it was 5x harder to use.
Fusion was beta back then and I was not willing to learn a new CAM program anyway even if it was free :rofl:

I started with SC 4 and the tutorial was for 1.5 at times I wanted to punch a hole in the wall. That’s also why I haven’t moved on. To steep a learning curve. I need to play with it when it doesn’t matter.
