Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Can't set machine position in script

Got a Fagor controller on one of my lathes, shut it down and restart it and it saves all positions prefectly. A quick check to confirm and jobs can be resumed without having to re-home etc. Never failed.
The Devs should expose the methods to do this. Seems easy enough as they RESET the machine Coords to zero on a restart.
More headaches....
It depends on the motion controller. My machine with a Galil on it does this perfectly so it isn't a Mach limitation. HOWEVER, what if someone bumps the table? Game over. Only homing or ABS encoders will ensure proper positioning.
