I think you should bite the bullet and replace them all for PNP.

Thats not really advice I want to hear! Anyway, now I've replaced both of the home switches so the limit switches should never be needed :S

Don't forget about that dude named Murphy...

is the laserpointer on both sides of axis
i put mine in one axis here it is X to the torch so i got only one ofsett

and your crosshair is then the point to start actuly it is the negative to the Torch

G10 L20 P1 x0 y-35 (in my case )
then as i got this done by a Button press
i go
M112 reload the Graphics axis−remote −−reload
G54 G0 X0 Y0
to be on the start point XY

I deliberately offset it on both axes so it could reach 0,0 plus it was easier to mount that way!
Gmoccappy supports macro buttons so I've put it there for now. I think I'll try and move it to one of the buttons Phill has added to the Plasmac front screen. He has one that opens halshow but it can also be opened from the settings page So I was hoping to put it there.

Phill, thanks what about an example to call a g code subroutine file? I seem to remember the first version of plasmac I installed had one but you changed it!

Have you tried I'm kinda thinking it should work...
Cheers, Phill.

EDIT: Yes it does work, I added it to the docs.
