    Just tried out my first bit of gcode posted [boring out a hole] from Fusion 360, using an air cut, and it all worked well except:

    1. Pressing cycle start makes the machine move to machine coords Z zero (i.e. Z home switch)

    2. After cutting out the part it moved back to machine coords X, Y, Z zero (i.e all home switches)

    I'm used to Vectric posting code out which moves the machine to work offset zero and safe Z (e.g. local 0,0,20), which is much more handy than having the machine march off to home somewhere over in the far corner.

    The code posts out G28 (line 6, and last but 2 lines), which is moving the machine to machine zero. Here it is:
    (OP2_SINGLEHOLE_6MM_0P5_300)
    (0.5MM PITCH)
    (T1 D=6. CR=0. - ZMIN=-20. - FLAT END MILL)

    G21

    In the post processor screen for F360 I tried changing the 'use G28' option to 'no', but this just omits the G28, and looks like it will then just home above the feature just cut.

    Any thoughts to get it to go to work offset zero instead of machine zero ?
