Probing order with Z enabled. #328

Closed LoganFraser closed 10 months ago

LoganFraser commented 10 months ago

The current probing order when probing a corner of the part is to probe X, then Y, then Z, but it would be much easier to setup the probe if it was Z first (with a longer probe length) and then X and Y probe depth was based on that inital Z height being set first. Currently if the XY probe offset is set to 5mm and your Z probe is close to 5mm off the surface of the part when you start the edgefinding, it can catch the edge of the part or miss it entirely. Since setting Z height first means the XY will always be at the same height, that saves a step from probing Z using the center point and then probing XY using the corner point.
