Hey again everyone,

In the New Year, I'd like to move my ATC Toolbar to a position on the side of the machine (opposed to the current mount on the backside). This means that the ATC Subroutine will need to be modified to load tool holders in a path perpendicular to the Default method. That is to say my move into the toolbar will be along the Y-Axis, not the X-Axis.

Here is what I could use help with:

1)Locate the ATC ToolChange routine in Custom Parts (I believe it to be ATC.sbp)
2)Correctly modified the routine from (1). I have found a few lines. It looks to be simply a matter of changing MX's to MY's.

Has anyone done anything similar?

Thanks,

Brandan

I don't have an ATC so hopefully those that do will chime in here, but after a brief look at the ATC files, it looks like running ATC_calibrate.sbp in the 'C:\SbParts\Custom\ATC' folder will set your new locations. It's possible that some modification may be needed to make the file advance to the next clip position in the X direction instead of the Y direction. Didn't look/step through the file close enough to see for sure.
