Just a small question , i never figured out how to
How do I give a dwarf a item , like a pick to miner , i wanted to give him a better metal pick , but i don't know how
Any steps to do so?

Never mind , i just disabled his labor and reenabled it , worked like a charm

I believe you can also forbid their existing tool so that they'll drop it, but what you did works just fine.

Your dwarves automaticly try to pick up what they believe is the best quality tools/weapons/armor available.  The trick is in getting them to put down the items they already have.

Soldiers will upgrade equipment automatically. Miners and woodcutters won't - the quality of their tools doesn't affect their work.

It doesn't matter whether a miner has an iron or steel pick - he'll mine at the same rate.

melt all inferior picks and he'd grab the best one
Alternatively, put him into military with the best pick then when he has equipped it, remove him from military while assigning him mining as labor. He'd use the pick in possession.

some of my soldiers are refusing to change their iron axes and iron shields for the new steel ones I made. Is that exclusively because of the attachment things? or there can be other reasons? In their equip screen I even specified to them that their axes and shield must be made of steel!
