Start the LogMasterII Administration Program from either the LogMasterIIs desktop or a computer
networked to the LogMasterII or another PC that can carry the LogMasterIIs database during the
update.
GettingbacktoWindowsontheLogMasterII:

CreatingaToolFromScratch:
IntheSubAssembliespage,rightclickonODImageandpickAddRectangle.

This will add a small rectangle to the too image at the bottom. The look of the tool is created by
puttingtogetherrectanglesandconnections.
Expand the OD Image node and pick OD Rectangle 0 its dimensions will be shown on the right as
fractionsofthewholetool.


A diameter of 1 is the widest point of the tool, while a smaller fraction would be a smaller diameter,
maybe even a neck for a small fraction. You can change these values to make the tool look like you
wantto.Herebycreating3rectanglesIhaveasteppedshaftlikeabearingmandrel.

Rightclick on OD Connections and pick Add Logged Connection. Now expand the OD Connections

users performing teardowns that they need to apply heat prior to loosening this connection. The
customer box is not to be used unless you have a customer that has different requirements than the
general way you build this tool. If you always torque a certain stator to housing with thread dope at

PleasenotethatIdrecommendastrategyofbreakingtoolsupintosubassemblies.Thetoolstorqued
up on the LogMasterII are combinations of subassemblies put together into commonly used tools.
Making bearing packs separate subassemblies from adjustables, driveshafts, ... allows you to put the
samebearingpackwithmanyadjustableswithonlyonecopyofthatbearingpack.Amajoradvantage
of this is that when you update the torque specs on this bearing pack, you only need to do it once
