Customizing tool carrier templates with ToolHolderWizard

They can be downloaded through the following link:
If you need further tool carrier templates, please contact your machine manufacturer or third-party vendor.
If you would like to use a CFX or CFT file, you need to parameterize the tool carrier template (i.e., to define the required dimensions). The tool carrier templates can be parametrized in the ToolHolderWizard window.
