Ok, technically I don't want to home to the center of the table. I want the machine to automatically move to WCS #1 (G54) immediately after homing. Basically, I want the mill to run the homing sequence directly to G54 so the Z-axis is set up near the center of the table.
I'm running a Bridgeport V2XT with an Allin1DC and MPU12.
Thanks!

Re: How to "Home" to the center of the table
At the end of your home file add G28.

Confidence is the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.
I have CDO. It's like OCD, but the letters are where they should be.

Re: How to "Home" to the center of the table
Your home file is the one named "cncm.hom", located in the c:\cncm directory.
You can do as Tom suggests and add "G28". Then all three axes will move to whatever location (in machine coordinates) you set in the G28 return point (under F1/Setup -> F1/Part -> F9/WCS -> F1/Return). That position will not change even if you set your G54 zero point in different locations for every job.
If you really do want it to move X and Y to the last G54 part zero location you happen to have set, then you would instead add a line at the end of your home file, which reads:
