Update machine and tool catalogues
Add new models and cutters without reinstalling ForgeCNC.
Step by step
- Disconnect the controller, open Settings / Manage and expand Machine catalogue updates.
- Choose Check for machine updates to retrieve the current ForgeCNC directory. Review the revision and added, changed and removed counts, then select Apply catalogue update.
- For an offline workshop, transfer a ForgeCNC catalogue JSON file and choose Import catalogue. Export catalogue makes a portable copy. Restore previous catalogue reverses the last applied directory update.
- Saved machines retain their own travel, controller selection and datums, including when a directory record is withdrawn. Select a catalogue model deliberately to prepare a new setup.
- In Tool Library, open Suppliers to add a manufacturer, import its supported Fusion library file or add an individual tool. Open Updates to check supported supplier downloads or enable weekly checks.
- Supplier imports update catalogue products. Existing My Tools copies retain their saved specifications and measured lengths. Enter received stock separately.
