Apart from programs, you can also save tool data and zero point settings.
You can use this option, for example, to backup the required tools and zero point data for a
specific G code program. If you want to execute this program at a later point in time, you will then
have quick access to the relevant settings.
Even tool data that you have measured on an external tool setting station can be copied easily
into the tool management system using this option.
Note
Backing up setup data from part programs
Setup data from part programs can only be backed up if they have been saved in the
"Workpieces" directory.
For part programs, which are located in the "Part programs" directory, "Save setup data" is not
listed.
