Not sure that is quite true, at least in 5.24. P703 (#9703) is the enable/disable flag as used in the wizard and scripts. P753 (#9753) is the configured value for spoil board dig in.

M6 macro will set and enable the work envelope using G22 if the configured value in #9753 is greater than zero, otherwise disable it using G23:

```auto
If #9753 GT 0 THEN G22 K[#10000 + [#9753 * -1]] ELSE G23 ;If we have spoilboard anti dig in enabled set work envelope for z axis, else do nothing.

```

M3 macro will issue G22 if #9703 is set to the value one, but will not disable it using G23 if #9703 is equal to zero

```auto
IF #9703 EQ 1 THEN G22 K[#10000 - ABS[#9753]] ELSE ;will set the Z work envelope to the current tool length + the spoilboard dig in if the user has this turned on

```

Therefore, seems the only way to truly disable the work envelope enforcement is to have spoil board dig in turned off AND have the value configured to zero.
