MC2026 Level manager

[Newbeeee™]

Not to be picky but when is the ability to set gage length in the holder page going to appear?

When the new standalone manager was introduced in X7, there was a lot of fire as the newly written version, was missing it.
Memory tells me, it was after X8 was introduced (beta 9?) when the answer was "it will need a ground up re-write to incorporate it".
I'm outa touch on the latest versions, so don't know if this happened....

Not to be picky but when is the ability to set gage length in the holder page going to appear? Tool Projection is WAY less important than Gage Length. Extension probably isn't going to result in a Service Call. A bad gage length OTOH... could cost upwards of $60,000 USD on a High-End 5-Axis machine.

Gage length is one of the big projects the tool team is working on. I don't have any more details to share from a product standpoint, but from a user standpoint I would like to have the flexibility to import a profile that includes taper and simply define my gage length without monkeying with chopping up the profile. And then, anywhere that assembly is used, gage length needs the same prominence and awareness as tool projection.
