What file (variable) do I modify to change the Safe pull-up value for the C2 (ZZero) file pls.

I am trying to ZZero on a very tall item and the pull-up after the C2 routine is exceeding the Z limits.

Thanks, Pete

under tools in your shopbot software use the setup and you can change it there

Peter...
The Zzero routine uses the "&zup" variable as the lift height. This is initialized earlier in the file as "&my_ZzeroSafeZ * &scale"

You can change the lift up amount by opening your C:\SbParts\Custom\my_variables.sbc file and changing the value of "&my_ZzeroSafeZ" to a smaller number. I believe the default is "1". Save the file.

The variable will stay as you have just set it unless you change it back after you are done with the tall material.
