CncJob Preprocessor GRBL_Laser - fixed for next version

Issue #556 new
max xam created an issue

the Preprocesor GRBL_Laser is terminated with the last command End MoveZ, that goes to lose the previous focusing.

if the Preprocessor is default, the field End Move Z is enabled, in my case I set to -150:

If I select Preprocessor GRBL_Laser the field End Move Z is not visible

(This preprocessor is used with a motion controller loaded with GRBL firmware. )
(It is for the case when it is used together with a LASER connected on the SPINDLE connector.)
(This preprocessor makes no moves on the Z axis it will only move horizontally.)
(The horizontal move is done with G0 - highest possible speed set in the GRBL controller.)
(It assumes a manually focused laser.)
(The laser is started with M3 command and stopped with the M5 command.)

    BTW, the GRBL_laser preprocesor it is supposed to not have Z moves so I actually removed the Z move at the end of the job since it was not supposed to happen. Only the GRBL_laser_Z has movements on the Z axis.
