Reset Z axis only

Easel Feature Requests
1

Hi,

I am a Vcarve user so I import g-code to Easel (which is by the way, the best g-code sender in my opinion!! PAUSE means PAUSE, STOP means STOP!!)).

Anyway, when a bit has to be changed, the Z needs to be reset, but you want to keep the old home for X and Y.

Maybe an option can be added in the wizard on the homing Move Bit to Work Zero page to say “Reset Z - Retain last X & Y”.

Am sure that this would come in handy for many users. I know that some discussion surrounded this before, but the solutions seemed to be a bit long winded to me.

Thanks

Steve

We are on the same page as that is exactly what I am saying “Reset Z and Retain X & Y”.

X and Y remain as they were and only Z will be reset. Eliminates the need for any additional hardware - just adjust your new Z anywhere on the stock, click to reset Z and then Carve.

You can workaround this by entering “G92 Z0” in the Inspector window which will zero the current Z position.

@HaldorLonningdal, how does this work then with “Use Last Home Position”?

What I am trying to accomplish is to use the last X and Y while resetting the Z only. If I use the code as you suggest, then what would I have to do to get the job started from the last X, Y?

Thanks
Steve
