Hey, A colleague sent me a tool.SAT file and I created a tool of it. The program also says that a tool has been created but I cant find it in the “paths and positions”-window. I cant delate tools or connect it to the robot, too. What’s wrong with my RobotStudio and how can I fix it? Many greetings Tami ---

The tool itself can be seen in the ‘Layout’ browser. If you attach the tool to the robot, a tooldata will be created. It can be seen in the ‘Paths&Targets’ browser. ![](http://forums.robotstudio.com/webwiz/772/Tooldata.jpg) ---

Hi Henrik, the problem was that the computer did not have enough space. Thats why the program couldnt display the tool. The space was fully occupied. Tami
