CC PRO 815.
EXPECT - since no units provided, value should be interpreted as INCHES.
Also, adding ‘in’ as a unit messes things up as well. If the diameter is set to “0.375in”, then the tool ends up as 2.0 inches. No idea at all how it managed to get that.
It also applies to editing existing tools.
Now my tools that I tried to edit are completely and permanently screwed up, since even if you just want to edit the name, the improper conversion is applied to ALL measurement fields - diameter, plunge, feed. The values that the program provided, even if untouched, are converted and the original values lost.
You can edit your tools directly in a spreadsheet. Open CC and Help then About menu and Go to Data Directory. Navigate to the CC directory and Tools. You can open your custom tool in a spreadsheet. When saving only save a a .csv file. CC cannot read spreadsheet files. There are more fields in the spreadsheet then CC actually uses. So maybe you can fix your custom tools if the application is messing them up.
First, why are you hitting “=” if you’re not trying to calculate a number?
With the units set to inch…
If I enter .375= it changes to 0.3750
If I enter .375mm=, it changes to 0.0148, which I would expect.
If I enter .375in=, it changes to 0.3750
With the units set to MM…
If I enter .375= it changes to 9.525, so it seems to assume inches if I don’t specify
If I enter .375in=, it changes to 9.525
Working as expected for me…???
I hit ‘=’ to force the field validation to go ahead without closing the dialog. It’s just an easier way to trigger the behaviour.
I can repro the behaviour on two different computers, both running CC 815, on Windows 10 (up to date).
Maybe locale related? My ‘Regional Format’ is set to “English(Canada)”.
It appears that yours is just as broken, it’s just affecting metric tools instead. The boxes are labelled with the units, NO conversion should be happening unless the user supplies a unit in their entry. If your go to the ‘Stepover’ field and hit ‘=’, does the value change? It does on mine, even though the value isn’t a distance, it’s a percentage.
OK, it’s related to the units of the project. If your project units are mm, then inch tools are broken, and vice-versa.
