I do not know if this is possible but it would be nice to be able to jog to an area near a toolpath and then do a run from here instead of scrolling back through the program.

I am not totally out in left field on this one. I know that at least one router manufacturer is able to do this.
If I am running a job and the bit breaks, after replacing the bit if I jog to the last area that had a cut I want Mach to start at the closest line to where the machine physically is.

Yes and it works great.
What I want to do is from my pendant jog to a location near the cut that was interrupted (broke bit, lunch break or Huh) and run from the closest line of gcode. I do not want to go back to the computer and scroll back through the file to find the point I wish to run from.

I could write the code to do this but it would be paid time Wink

Zealous,
Thanks for the offer but it is not that important. If Brian could do this as part of the next Mach I would like it. Please Brian Smiley.
