3. Enter the appropriate Tool Offsets for the X, Y, and Z fields.
! Since the tool tip is in front of and below the tooling pin, the Y and Z offsets are always
negative. Positive X is to the right of the tooling pin, as shown in
Figure 7-1.
WARNING! If Tool Offsets have already been defined and set up in the Tool Library,
correct offsets are displayed in the Tool Configuration dialog box. DO NOT
change them without assistance from your Asymtek representative. Your
Asymtek application engineer can supply you with the offset coordinates for
each tool used.
