Hi all, well, just deleted my question. When double checking all the facts,
reproducing the problems, I got some clue about what was going wrong. But
there is still 1 thing unclear. My postprocessor, NX5, made with
postbuilder, automatically adds a G28 at the start of the program. Since I
have a very slow z-axis, which can also get dangerously close to the
workpiece if it hase a tool in it, I don't want the G28 to go to 0,0,0. I
configured emc so that a homing sequence will put the x and y stage at 10,10
and the z-stage at 180. Can I get emc to use G28 to go these coordinates? Or
do I have to remove the G28 from the postprocessor and put G00 X10 Y10 Z180
in it? It seems that G28 Z100, for instance, first goes to 0,0,0 and than
goes to 0,0,100.

I love this stuff, but there is so much to figure out. Especially since I
have to configure a postprocessor and a cnc system at the same time. I am
never sure which one is misconfigured.
