Title: How can I jog my machine after pausing or stopping g-code?
Post by: EmpoweredElectronics LLC on March 16, 2015, 08:44:14 AM

Hi,
I would really like to be able to stop my machine in the middle of a cut, and jog it to a new location. I would also need to be able to run the code from the same spot once I'm done. I have a tool path which runs and then has a pause break in the G-code. I would like to change tools, zero my Z axis and continue my tool path. Is there an easy way to jog the machine and then have it start back up where it left off? I don't need help with a macro or anything or with zeroing my axis. I'm just looking for a way to move the machine without losing my place in the g-code file. Any thoughts?
Thanks for the help!
