Working with Multitool
Using a multitool you have the possibility of storing more than one tool at a magazine location.
The multitool itself has two or more locations to accept tools. The tools are directly mounted
on the multitool. The multitool is located at a location in the magazine.
Geometrical arrangement of the tools on the multitool
The geometrical arrangement of the tools is defined by the clearance between the locations
on the multitool.
The clearance between the locations can be defined as follows:
● Using the multitool location number or
● using the angle of the multitool location
If angle is selected here, then the value of the angle must be entered for each multitool location.
Regarding loading and unloading in a magazine, the multitool is treated as a single unit.
