Used gsender for first time. Did a 14 hour relief, it got to where it was just doing clearance outside relief. Stopped it to load profile file. After stopping it I hit the Goto XY0 button figuring it to be the home Button (no other button indicating home). It did not raise Z to a safe position first, just dragged turning bit across the relief to XY zero leaving nice line across what was a nice relief. The GOTO XY0 key needs to raise to a safe height position before moving.

Safe height is configurable in preferences but is 0 by default. It will either raise Z by the set amount above WCS Z0 if you don’t have homing enabled, or move to machine Z0 minus the set amount if homing is enabled.
