using solid tools and need help with all tool parameter names...

[snguyen]

Good morning,
I am starting to use solid tools to help with collision checks. I
created a solid tool and got it into my session of ProMan but I do not know
all the parameters name to finish up the geometry page.
Like, "length=Tool Length" and "cutter_diam=Cutter Diameter". I am trying to
fill out all the information for the tool but have no luck with the correct
parameter names. If anybody knows or has a copy of all the parameters for
tool descriptions it will be helpful.

Thanks.

Thanks to Paul for the information.
It works like a charm. Hope it can help somebody else that is needing this
information.

The quickest way to get the parameters is to do info from the cutting tools setup on an existing tool of the same type. that lists all the parameters of that tool type
