In FeatureCAM 2013 R3, a new preview option has been added, called Provisional Tools.  In reality, tool cribs will be more limited than the default FeatureCAM database provides, and paths may need to be machined that require new tools.  This new preview option will create provisional, temporary endmills and drills based on the feature size data, allowing simulation but preventing NC code output.  Once created, these provisional tools can then be used as the basis of a new tool.
