I'm having a little problem with setting my Z axis.  When I zero out my work piece to start a job Mach uses machine 0 on the Z axis instead of the soft 0. The machine will zero to the soft X and Y but not Z and the only thing that I have found to fix this is to first 0 out all the axis then do a restart of mach3.  Ive looked through the settings and so far cant see whats causing this  and ideas?
Here is an example of the files im loading...just the start of it anyway

Have a look at the description of G28 in the G Code list.
