Ignore Z

Is there a way to tell Mach to ignore all Z moves? For instance, if I wanted to run a program but just cut air with no Z moves. Rather than generating a separate program with no Z moves, can I just do it in Mach with a setting?
Thanks

Disable the Z axis and it will just ignore it I think.

Setting Page top right inhibit axis
OR I f you don't want to loose position of Z. Then set Z scale to .00001. It will move but not so that you would notice it.
If that doesn't work for you there may be more options with CB.
