Ok, I will try that. I don't recall getting any complaints from the software when I used it, so I'm not sure how the end user is supposed to know not to do that.

Yes, I originally had the Mill version and paid to go to Router version.

Hi,

I have a Avid PRO4848 and I like to park the spindle in the rear right corner of the machine, but home to the front left corner. I currently manually jog it forward after parking it then start homing, but that is annoying. I'm trying to write a homing script that searches for a rear limit ...
