G-Code, CAD, and CAM discussions / Re: How do I pause for part removal? (newbie)

This is odd.  I used to be able to program in a tool change via Mastercam - very basic Z UP, spindle STOP, manually change tool, hit RUN PROGRAM to resume.  After the in ital Z move (up) I could move the head out of the way via an X-axis move, then when ready to resume running just hit the RUN PROGRAM and X-axis would return to the last known position (prior to the manual jog during the M0 period).  Now that no longer seems to work.  Instead, the program tries to resume from the new ("temporary") X-axis location.

Any idea?
