Well, that solves that! Thanks

You say it will scroll through the code. Will it go back to the line I selected?
What is involved in the "prep" move? What if it's already in the position I want to start from?
For example I get an erroneous limit switch triggered in the middle of a cut. So now it's stopped in between point X and Y.
Would I select point X as a restart point. Would the prep move be to go back to that point and wait for me to press "cycle start" again?
Scroll to the line you want to start at then press RFH, it will scroll through the code and once done you press Start, a box will pop up with the prep move and option to start the spindle, if it looks like its OK then press OK and it will move to the position stated in prep move. Once there its just a case of pressing cycle start again. One thing worth mentioning is it works best if you have the safe Z enabled.

Can you attach your xml and some code that it happens with, will try to see if I can get it to do the same and maybe manage to work out why.

If it is just one axis, try changinging the cables with one of the other axis, do an "air cut" a few times, and see if the X still does it. If it doesn't, it could be a wiring flaw.
I had this happen when building a system and it turned out it was 2 of the direction wires slightly touching each other.

Does it always light up the SCALE led and change the scale setting when it happens?
