    Locking the tool pockets to a tool number

    I want to lock the tool pocket to a specific tool no so if a operator takes a tool out offline he knows where to return it. I have a job set to start that will use replacement tools to be set offline and want to reduce confusion.
    The manual states 7267.0 through .3 is for the tool pockets but I have an option of 0 through 5 for each. Does anyone know which is the correct parameter?

    Manual reads as follows;
    MP7267.0 Tool Number - :0 to 5
    MP7267.1 Special Tool - :0 to 5
    MP7267.2 Fixed Pocket -:0 to 5, I think this is the one, it is set to 3 now.
    MP7267.3 Pocket Locked-:0 to 5

    Found the solution. The above is only for how the columns are displayed in the tool table. This is handled in the pocket table by fixing the tool and pocket numbers.
