    Just tried it and it works! I was expecting it to pick up where I left off it doesn't work like that - homing and mdi to zero and I'm back. Part of my problem was that I often don't home the machine especially for small jobs

    It's a good habbit to get used to homing the machine when first turned on. Most industrial machines won't do anything until the machine is referenced home.

    If you did want to save the location at shut down then it wouldnt be too hard to knock a script up which did this. Then have button to take you back after homing or even include it in the Homing script. (thou not good idea.!)
