Explanation
The free selection of the D No., "Flat D numbers", is used when tool management is done
outside the NC. In this case, the D numbers are created with the corresponding tool
compensation blocks without assignment to tools.
T can continue to be programmed in the parts program. However, this T has no reference to
the programmed D number.
