Initial Coordinates

Is there a way to define the initial coordinate of an axis when the machine starts up? This is without homing switches. My ymin is 0, ymax is +48, and I'd like the initial y position to be +48.

Using the "last_position" file added to ini should do the trick, but from your question i am not sure you want that.
You can not assign initial coordinates to a system that has no way of knowing where it is .

Actually I think I did figure out how to assign initial coords.
In the INI setup for "immediate homing" and then set HOME and HOME_OFFSET both equal to 48.0.
It's been working fine so far, I just put a little gcode at the end of my ngc files to always move my gantry to it's parking position at the top left corner of the table (0, 48) after a job. I've got physical and squared stops there so as long as I initialize there I know where I am on the table. It isn't ideal or as convenient as switches but it'll do for now.

That is a neat way of doing it.

I'm using axis/plasmac. Is there a way to get a "Home All" button to home all my joints at once? I tried setting the HOME_SEQUENCE = 0 for each axis but that didn't do it. Does the home sequence have to be set for each joint instead?
[edit]
Figured it out. I had to set the HOME_SEQUENCE = 0 for each joint individually, not just the axis.
