## Operation

The default 'Activate Home' checkbox is on. When it is on, the functions described below will work, when it is off, the functions will not be called.

## Settings

### Name of Homing File

Default is homing.gcode.
At the beginning of a each layer, home will add the commands of a gcode script with the name of the "Name of Homing File" setting, if one exists. Home does not care if the text file names are capitalized, but some file systems do not handle file name cases properly, so to be on the safe side you should give them lower case names. Home looks for those files in the alterations folder in the .skeinforge folder in the home directory. If it doesn't find the file it then looks in the alterations folder in the skeinforge_plugins folder. If it doesn't find anything there it looks in the craft_plugins folder.

## Examples

The following examples home the file Screw Holder Bottom.stl. The examples are run in a terminal in the folder which contains Screw Holder Bottom.stl and home.py.
> python home.py
This brings up the home dialog.
> python home.py Screw Holder Bottom.stl
