Configuring the "New Tool" window

<NEWTOOLCONFIGURATION> tag
You use the "New Tool" dialog to supply a new tool with specific tool data before creating the
tool or before loading the tool to a magazine location. These are typically the tool size and/or
the tool location type because these parameters can no longer be changed when the tool is
loaded. It is also useful to display the tool type and the tool names in this window.
Specify the parameters in the <NEWTOOLCONFIGURATION> tag that are to be displayed
in the "New Tool" dialog.
Note
The number of parameters is limited by the size of the window.
