Change / Create Tool
1 - Create tool inside library
2 - Edit OPL
3 - Inside OPL put the correct tool numer and if needed add correct number for tool length compensation

101: STL file + RED Cylinder to protect Connectic area
102: SOLID at the back to avoid to tuch occlusal face
107: Guide line used for 4Xs tool path - length can be adjust inside setting

Change TOOL - Process will be change if no MTE
1 – Create your new tool in the DATABASE
2 – Inside MTE LOAD your tool
3 – Save FMO
4 – New file to check if tool is in the machine
5 – Edit OPL back turning and change tool (you can replace previous OPL or create new one)

4XS Toolpath = ToolPath is more smooth, rotary speed of S1 is constant, so we can use 0.01 as tolerance
Minimum Diameter for protection of the connectic area
