Moving the Tool to the Home Position
 

You use the Move to Home dialog that opens. This includes settings for constraining the move to the X or Y axes, for example. For details click the dialog's Help button or click here (milling version).

These settings are remembered for when you next open the dialog (the settings are also remembered from the Move to Toolchange dialog; the same settings appear in both dialogs).

The default home position is defined in the Code Generator file, and is specified relative to the Machine Datum and in the orientation of the Initial CPL. To change the Home position, right-click on the sequence name in the Sequence Window and in the shortcut menu that opens click Edit. In the Machine Parameters dialog that opens, switch to the Home tab and make your changes. Note that you cannot change the Home position if the sequence's code generator contains Machine Simulation graphics.

Automatic Moves to Home

You can opt for moves to the Home position to be inserted automatically. The moves are added to the end of the sequence on generating CNC code for the sequence (but only if the tool is not already at the Home position).

Check Options menu ► Preferences ► Toolpaths tab  ► Force Rapid to Home.

The move uses the last settings you made in the Move to Home dialog, when creating a move (or that you made in the Move to Toolchange dialog).
