When I send gcode to machine the z axis goes up to limit switch and stops
Newbie
I had this problem yesterday.
I entered a machine profile and the problem went away....I changed other things
The problem is back today after fusion 360 crashed and continued to crash reloading my file.
I am not sure what clears this problem and am unable to find what cleared it yesterday ...

You probably have G28 or G53 at the start of your code/operation. Your post processor probably has an option to us either of those or to use [Clearance Plane]. Try using that instead.

AAAh seems to be working

As far as I recall, Fusion retains the settings of the post processor last selected. However, one could also edit the post processor to default to your preferred settings.
