The tool dialogue allows the operator to temporarily adjust tool
settings or mount a new tool. If only a tool number is entered, the
system will mount the tool, and use the values stored in the tool table.
If any of the other values are entered (e.g. diameter, length, etc) the
tool settings for the tool number provided will be modified. The new
values will not be stored in the tool table as they are temporary manual
settings.
