    Homing order?

    First off I am new to Mach and CNC. now here is my question. If you stop a program in the middle of the job and tell it to HOME the Z axis is last to move. I would want Z to move tool up first then X and Y next. Having read the setup manual I can't find anything that answers my question. Is there a way to set the homing order? Carl

    Under the Operator menu, Click Edit Button Script. The Home button should start blinking. Click on it, and a VB window will open. Copy the code and paste it here and I'll tell you how to change it.

    DoButton( 24 ) is the Z axis, so it should move first. Do you have Safe Z setup?
