Was checking if there was some updated video on setting soft limits to house the tool rack of an onefinity elite.  
I only see the masso video from 5 years ago  
or if anyone would not mind giving me a bit of help on setting my soft limits

Hi,  
I wrote this a while ago, but to set soft limits is F1 I believe and is just under the axis in question.

Any warnings?  
If it just stay’s I would verify that checkmark in the tool setter section.  
If there’s a warning, there’s a note that says that it wont complete the touch off if it’s in the soft limit no-go zone area.

It homes all axis and then instead of going to the tool setter location it just says “please wait” and says that forever.  
No warnings comes ups  
the homing button just is yellow

I think I need to finish setting up the tool changer and tool positions before I set the soft limits ?

I found this on the masso homing page:

- If after homing the machine sits and flashes Homing but does nothing you may have a tool changer enabled on your machine but have not set it up correctly. Some tool changer types home during the homing sequence. Change the tool changer to manual until you have completed the install of your Tool Changer.

later today when I get back to the shop ill disable the soft limits finish fully setting up the tools and then retry

I always find it easiest to do one thing at a time.
