Tom,

This is the XY zero position call for those using the Fixture Offset Table to call that location, typically for those with pop up pins its the corner opposite of home. If you are not using the Fixture Offset Table, you can delete this line, then replace with what you are using (G901, G51, G92, etc). Or you can replace the 1 with the correct number you are using. The post can be edited in a Notepad so you don't have to change every file you post from Vcarve.
