Graham as i said i can't everytime that gcad produce a gcode program edit and add commands to gcode. I want all to became with a button if possible. I hope to find the time the weekend to give some tries with the button constration.

But till weekend i want some ideas to make the things easier.  The solution to add M0 (WAIT FOR CYCLE START) & M47( LOOP) commands on gcode is good but i don;t want to edit the gcode program everytime.

The problem is that i can't edit the code everytime that Gcad program produce it.

As example i give you the following to understand what i want the button do:

Line 1 : DoOEMButton (1000)   {START CYCLE}
Line 2 : ?                       WAIT TILL PROGRAM END i want a command to wait the program end (Gcode end).
Line 3 : DoOEMButton (1002)   THIS IS THE REWIND BUTTON
Line 4 : ?                       WAIT FOR X SECONDS   i want a command to wait for X seconds.
Line 5 : ?                       GOTO DoOEMButton (1000)   i want a command to go to the first line (line1) of the script.


Alternative i have a thought about a button to only enable or disable the all process. One button START & one button ENABLE REPEAT. When the ENABLE REPEAT button is off the button START make a single START CYCLE & when the ENABLE REPEAT button is on the button START make repeated START CYCLE.

I say again that i'm not familiar with scripts but i hope to help me.
