    Kevin, sorry if I'm misunderstanding. You would have to go back into Partworks and on the toolpath side, go into "material set-up" and change the safe Z settings to what you want, Re-calculate all toolpaths, and resave them in the same folder same names and then resave the whole .crv.
    If SB3, then VC and change Safe-Z there.
    I'd make sure first though that you had referenced Z from the same spot as you called out in the file though(Not that I'VE ever done that ).
    Sorry if that wasn't what you were asking.

    Note there are 2 settings for z. One is the safe z and the other is the home z. You have to make sure that the safe z and the home z are good for what you want to do.

    You may have opened a file with different values which will be the ones used the next time you start a new job.
