    go home wont lift z 1st MAch3 / plasma table

    when I sued to push the go home button in mach, it would lift Z then move X or y, now drags the torch on the metal isntead of lifting it off before moving either x or y - it only happens if I use the go home button, the safe Z height is 1.0" and that works fine while cutting. I'm not sure what changed or why it does this, and cant seem to find it in mach, for some reason I think I ran into this beofre long ago but cant seem to find a note on it anywhere

    any suuggestions (besides remembering to raise z before using go home <g>

    thanks

    You can edit the button script for that action to lift Z first and then go. The procedure is fairly easy. Just do a search for edit button script here on the zone and you should see it outlined.
