Nope.
What you've got is sorted out. I've run all of them multiple times at different settings and it's good-to-go.
If I could submit a wishlist for future updates:
1. Adjustable retract feed rates. Right now all retracts are at G0. Until UCCNC sets up the S-curve axis acceleration feature, it's a little jerky when I have my rapids cranked up. I've noticed a difference (few tenths to a 'thou) when probing a known distance (1-2-3 blocks) when I have the max axis speed set artificially low vs. normal. Maybe have a single retract feedrate field for all the probing cycles.
2. X only outside boss (to measure stock width), with a Z retract like the X/Y that's already there. Optional to set X0 at left or right edge or center. So probe left edge, set DRO X0, move up to clear, move over specified distance, probe right edge, move up and move back at Z-clearance to right edge. DRO will now read the part width.
3. Y only outside boss (same as above)
4. X/Y outside boss - include the option for setting X and/or Y0 to one of the touches or center. Currently it moves to the center if you have "Auto Zero" enabled, but doesn't if it's unchecked (stays at X right edge).
5. Z height probe cycle in the flyout (similar to the tool length macro, with with optional DRO zeroing. Maybe with the probe tool # in a field so it automatically sets the probe tool length offset before updating the DRO. See my cry for help in the /Macros subfolder.)
Thanks again!
