Printersettings z max size has changed behaveour in RH

In earlier releases i think that z max size (printer height) in printer settings was overruling settings in firmware so if you changed printer settings you could trim printer z max height from RH. Is that wrong remembered?.
At least it does not seem to work in that way anymore.
if i change z-max size I have to upload new firmware settings. Printer settings editing does show up in control pane when homingl, but size used is the one from Firmware as least as I have experienced.
This was experienced with RH 1.05 and marlin FW. W7/X64.

No, the host settings are never copied to the firmware. It is only for viewing build volume. Firmware limits are what really matters for printing, so it is of course a good idea to set host dimensions to the same values as firmware.

ok thanks.
I may wonder how you are synchronizing with FW as RH axes display the settings from printersettings when you are jogging from zmax to 0 or vice versa, but fw may do it with different values so your carriage may not be where you think it is or?

Yes, that can be a different coordinate. Repetier-Firmware sends new coordinate after homing so host can update to that. But without feedback or in job mode it assumes compute dposition from known dimensions.
