I recently purchased the Newfangled wizzards and am having troubles with z moves .
When I post code and get sent to the run program, I press cycle start Z moves off of part to top of z and status replies with a "Safe Z moved Down to  Soft Limit Minimum" , I played with offsets g54 and g55 and still same response, What am I doing wrong??

Can you attach your xml please as it will be the easiest way to see how you have things set up. It does sound like your safe Z and Soft limits are conflicting.
Also post the code if possible.

You have a safe Z set as 101.6 in machine coords, the most you can go is 0 in machine coords so set it to zero or maybe -0.01 or something.
