How can I convert my previous NX version tool library to the latest NX CAM version?

Solution

In Manufacturing application you can convert a library of a previous NX version  by selecting  Menu -> Tools -> Convert tool library–

Then, select the file 'tool_database.dat' and click OK

NX then automatically convert the tool library and copies the 'tool_database.dat' to NX\MACH\resource\library\tool\metric 

The tool_database.dat_converted filename is not the converted file, it is a list of tools that could not be converted. If it is empty, it indicates that all tools were successfully converted.
