Hello, all. I have an ATC system on my router that I've been setting up and I'm looking for some advice on how I can setup a macro or edit my current macro to put the last tool away that was used during a job when the job is complete. Currently, when the job is complete the system returns to Z zero and the spindle shuts off. I have to manually remove the tool, but then the system thinks that the tool is still in the spindle. I want to be able to put the tool back so that I can swap out tools and make the changes via the bin numbers for the next job since my tool rack is limited to 6 tool holders. I would like the machine to put the tool away then return to home (I use proximity switches). I thought about editing the "Park" macro to do this. Any advice is appreciated.

Here's my current ATC macro that works well.

You added this to your mfunc6 or your park?

I modified my park.mac as above. This allows me to change the park location easily when needed

I'll try it. I'm assuming that when you press "Park" it puts the tool away then moves to the park location, is that right?
