Floating head touch off

Hi guys, the zip file John attached opens as a zero byte file for me. Can someone share the Sheetcam post he posted. It seems to be the most recent resource.

Uploaded again, note that the touchoff.ngc shows 0 bytes when you hover over it with the mouse but it does have the contents.

That is not G code from my sheetcam post, you must have selected something else as a post processor.

I discovered that this was a problem related to my computer being named bjørn, sheetcam did not like the norwegian letter in the path to the post.
but i had to edit the post to put G92.1 after M5 onPenUp
If not all cutting paths was on different heights on Z axis, is this normal or is it something wrong with my setup?
