I can not find the.SVG graphics files? Im only finding bitmap files in the CNCM directory. Is there a hidden folder?

#1 slot is a G28 to get the machine back to home, #2 - XY = 0, #3 - Z =0

I just got my pendant yesterday but did not realize it requires Pro version of CNC12 need to upgrade, but yes was planning on using those buttons for that as well.

Would this function work on my lathe the same as setting up on the mill?

This is a revisit of this post, I want to set this up for my lathe now. Can I copy the mufun56 from my mill set up and just copy over to my lathe set up and just delete the y axis in the file? Are the files used for both mill and lathe written the same?

I want to use M55 for the current tool to (GO TO X0, Z0) To verify my X0 z0 is at the correct location on the stock before I hit cycle start.
I would also like a single button to X0 and Z0 individually.
I will also map these to my MPG
