RepRot, are you suggesting these as changes to the main line code? At a minimum the wording would need to be changed. For example a lot (most???) of printers do not lower the heat bed. They raise the extruder. The wording of anything in the menu's should be neutral.

Roxy, With CoreXY printers you usually lower the print bed after a print is finished so it is handy to have this feature available.
CoreXY printers print beds are often cantilevered and any force on them can upset alignments if not at there lowest position. If you have a bad print and wish to abort then you need to lower the print bed before the part is removed.
I have used this LCD menu often when not printing from a PC.

My main reason of the post is to give people options on customising their LCD menu if they wish. It also gives people a better understanding of how the Marlin firmware works.
Cheers

Ok! I don't have a CoreXY and have a lot to learn about them. Can you post the code?
