During the tool synchronization several scenarios could occur:

• Scenario 1: the part code is sent from ToolsNet 8 and a tool model with the same part code is already defined. In this case, the new tool is created with the already defined tool model.

• Scenario 2: the part code is sent from ToolsNet 8 but a tool model with the same part code is not defined. In this case, the new tool is created with a brand new tool model with a generic type

• Scenario 3: the part code is not sent from ToolsNet 8. In this case, the tool is created without a model.

For scenarios 2 and 3, a manual user action is needed complete the data. It is not possible to create inspections on tools that don’t have a tool model or tools with a generic tool model.
