Hello Craig,

You can remove the Y-axis from the move to home in the onClose function in the post processor.  Simply remove the code highlighted in red in the onClose function.

if (!machineConfiguration.hasHomePositionX() && !machineConfiguration.hasHomePositionY()) {
    if (properties.useG28) {
      writeBlock(gFormat.format(28), gAbsIncModal.format(91), "X" + xyzFormat.format(0), "Y" + xyzFormat.format(0)); // return to home
    }
  } else {
    var homeX;
    if (machineConfiguration.hasHomePositionX()) {
      homeX = "X" + xyzFormat.format(machineConfiguration.getHomePositionX());
    }
    var homeY;
    if (machineConfiguration.hasHomePositionY()) {
      homeY = "Y" + xyzFormat.format(machineConfiguration.getHomePositionY());
    }
    writeBlock(gAbsIncModal.format(90), gFormat.format(53), gMotionModal.format(0), homeX, homeY);
  }
