Description
The CAM ToolBitDock command opens the Toolbit Selector.
The purpose of the selector is to display the currently selected library and allow the user to quickly add tool controllers to the CAM Job(s).
Double-clicking on a toolbit will create a single tool controller for the toolbit. Multi-selecting toolbits and pressing the 'Add to Job' button will create tool controllers for all toolbits in the library.
The user may also select multiple tools and use the 'add...' button at the bottom to add tool controllers for the selection.
