Relocating a tool

Tools can be directly relocated within magazines to another magazine location, which means
that you do not have to unload tools from the magazine in order to load them into a different
location.
When you are relocating a tool, the application automatically suggests an empty location.
You may also directly specify an empty magazine location.
Buffer
You have the option of relocating the tool to buffer locations.
