Parking instead of homing

Post by EricJan »

Hi there,
New user here, so apologies should I use wrong terms....

I am using a Yeti Smartbench and vCarve to create my gcode files. At the end of each job, the generated gcode file puts the Z-head in the XY=0.0 position. I would rather have it move to the 'P' position. It would greatly speed up my production work.

Is there a setting or tickbox I overlooked that can make this happen? Or possibly a generic gcode instruction that I can manually add to the vCarve generated file?

On the bottom of Material Setup on the Toolpaths tab, there's a place to specify the Home/Start position.
Try setting it to your Parking location instead of the default 0/0,
