This would be much much appreciated! While playing around with the gcode I also noticed that it generates an x,y move and then goes to "pen down" height if it is set, as bellow:

G21
G90
G28
G1 F8000
G1 X2.183 Y82.986
G1 Z10.000
G1 X3.472 Y82.738
G1 X3.720 Y82.540
...

It should raise the pen to the "pen up" value if set before attempting any move. like so:

...
G1 F8000
G1 Z15.000
G1 X2.183 Y82.986
G1 Z10.000
...

This is a must for printers/plotters where the resting state of the head is at 0,0,0.
