Returning Home after cut

Sadly I made two changes and am not sure which is the cause. Has anyone else had the machine switching to returning home instead of just raising up after their cut finishes? Trying to determine if it is the F360 post processor (vs buildbotics) or if it is the 1.0.6 beta firmware. Have not had time to play with testing so thought I would ask to see if someone else already had.

That would be the pp and I have no idea how you would mod that, sorry.
Most people want return to zero.

It is actually returning home not 0 which is the odd part. 0 is fine… Home is not a great place for bit changes or next cut operation generally.

Vcarve is returning to zero

I can check tonight, but I think mine just moves up. I’m still on 1.0.5 and using the Buildbotics PP.

BJ - I did a cut tonight and the machine simply moved up after finishing the cut. Can’t say it homed Z as it didn’t go all the way up, but it didn’t move x/y after finishing.

Since I experienced the mystical 0.75" cut issue (missing steps) tonight, I’m gonna upgrade to 1.0.6 tomorrow.

I’m still using the Buildbotics PP. I looked at the code for the OF PP and didn’t see anything that would cause the machine to home or return to Zero after cutting, but the PP is fairly long and I could have missed it.
