I guess I could modify my CAM post to insert a G30 before every tool change. Its not going to hurt anything.
P.S. What's the difference between G28 and G30. I use G28 for the tool change location in my tool change macros in Mach 3. Goes to the location set in configuration. The definitions I see seems to indicate they are the same.

Ah, in Mach G28 goes to a set homing location and G30 goes to absolute home. G28 also uses safe z moves if safe z is turned on. G30 does not.
So can you set a G28 location in PathPilot?
Does it implement a G30 as a linear move or can it be set as a safe move like G28 with Safe Z moves turned in does in Mach? If it performs a linear move you could have circumstances where it crashes. They would be very rare, but its possible. You would have to set your clearance height to clear all possible obstacles. Might make for some awfully inefficient code in some cases.
My machine doesn't get here until late next week and I figure it will take me a while to get it going, but I want to have an idea what I am getting into before I run my first code.
