I have not used tool-probing with EMC2, but tool-length probing should provide the Z-axis coordinates. If you examine this function, it may provide you with a clue on how to read the real-time Z-position

The trajectory planner knows the tool pos. Why not keeping some parameters with theses values ? At least, there should be somewhere in the doc a complete list of existing parameters, like the one one with available Gcodes or Mcodes.

I will try that. Thanks ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
