Like the software says. You can't mix HomeLimit with Limit All
I assume you have a Lathe installation and Mill Installation of the software?
I would imagine you are hitting the limitations of a number of inputs?
I wonder when you do the manual change from lathe to mill if you couldn't use some relays to swap inputs for you.

That is how I have been running it. But, when you do that, it will not limit the Z+ travel and can allow a crash.
The issue is I want to Home Z+ but I also want to limit it. All the other limit switches are combined into a limit input.
If you configure the soft limits this should not be an issue unless your machine loses steps.
You will have to come up with another alternative or add a second switch to for limit.

Thanks Marty. I think it will be OK. The drives are hybrid servos so they shouldn't loose steps and if they do, they will generate a fault which will shut down the machine.

Then I would not really have any hesitation on relying on the HOMEALL function. I have used it ALOT with closed loop hybrid servo machines.
