General Mach Discussion / Re: stopping and restarting hot wire CNC work with Mach 3

pgh3, thank you Peter for the speedy reply.  However, I was hoping that fellow members caught the fact I was am using a "hot wire CNC machine" which unlike a "router" type, the "bit" is a hot wire that continues to burn the foam it is cutting, regardless of movement or spindle stopping.  My question is how to stop and restarting a work "without" unnecessary burning (cutting) of the foam.  I am certain that anyone working with "hot wire CNC" can relate.

General Mach Discussion / stopping and restarting hot wire CNC work with Mach 3

Can someone tell me a good way to continue my hot wire foam cutting in Mach 3?  Sometimes my wire breaks or just because I want to re-cut a part of my design.
