    Ref All Home with Auto Z can it be done?

    I'd sure like to be able to combine my Ref All Home with the Auto-Zero tool function for the z axis. Has anyone done this yet?

    When the Ref All Home button was pressed, the vb script would do the X, Y home and then execute the auto-zero code. (mach 3 blue) which would touch the bit to the zero plate (mine is built into my table) and then I'd be ready for a job!

    The current Ref All Home button contains a script that calls
    DoButton (24)
    DoButton (23)
    DoButton (22)
    DoButton (25)

    I can't seem to find out what those buttons are.

    Thanks, Greg

    DoButton (24) = Home Z
    DoButton (23) = Home Y
    DoButton (22) = Home X
    DoButton (25) = Home A

    All you'd need to do after this is move into the correct position and run the AutoZero.

    Just add the code for those after the above.
