Compatibility

For Mastercam 2017-2018:

The custom tools is not working with Robotmaster because Mastercam changed some libraries in those releases.

For Mastercam X8-X9:

The custom tools in inches does not work because of some scaling issues/bugs. This should be fixed in release v6.6. However, the metric version works fine.
