in the main Toolbar.
Select the Job Setup button from the Vertical button
bar to open the Job Setup dialogue.
For the Program Units select “Inch”.
Enter “1” for the Tool Number.

Enter -1 for the Tool Length.
Enter Define and Use Tool for the Tool Action.
Touch Use to accept the Job Setup tool path.
