Tool texts
Tool texts are assigned to the tools and displayed in the tool list. The
CNC PILOT manages the tool texts in a separate list.
Connections:
 The descriptions are managed in the tool text list. Each entry is
preceded by a "QT number."
 The parameter "Tool text QT" contains the reference number for the
"tool text" list. The text indicated by QT is then displayed in the tool
list.
When the tool dialog box is open, CNC PILOT lets you enter tool texts.
Press the Tool texts soft key.
You can define up to 999 tool texts of max. 80 characters length.
