I don’t think that is entirely true. Admittedly there are a lot of scripts in
the background handling the config, but you don’t deal with those on a day to
day basis...
Now with MACH3 I can clip my little PC board to the router bit, set the PCB
under the router bit where I want my zero. Click on a button on the screen
... Though I admit that I still use MDI for Z probing, (G38.2 F20 Z-10) which
is a bit command-live-ey.
But, you can write a probing script that automates it. I
have a whole bunch of scripts that probe every possible
corner (inside and outside) and set the corner to (0,0)
correcting for the probe tip. Then, you just select the
right probe routine, run it and then load the machining routine.
