    Offset for z axis gauge block height

    I have a simple touch plate where an LED lights up when the tool makes contact with the touch plate. Mach 3 had an offset for gauge block height and I just switched to UCCNC so I am trying to find the analogous functionality in UCCNC. Since this is not hooked in to my IO I can’t simply run the auto zero macro. Any help is appreciated.

    When you touch the probe you can simply enter the height of the block to the Z DRO.

    The latest test release as a probing plugin, which has a gauge block setting.

    It also has at least 100 other new features. But keep in mind, it is a TEST release.

    Thanks, I will take a mental note to download once it becomes a stable release. Ger21, your endorsement of UCCNC in previous posts was one of the main reasons I made the switch!
