Every once in a long while I get a limit switch error while cutting. Or I press the e-stop button.
What would the procedure be to continue from the point where it stopped?
Restart program from the beginning. Anything else is going to foul up!

Absolutely not true! I often have need to interrupt, and re-start programs, and it's no big deal at all. First step is re-establishing correct offsets, which is usually just a matter of touching off on some feature of the part. Then, decide where in the program to pick up, click on "SetNextLine", then start running. You have to be careful about the start point you pick, to make sure any initial conditions are set correctly (modal settings, spindle/coolant state, etc.). Worst case, you may have to manually set a mode or two, or turn the spindle/coolant on, before re-starting. RunFromHere can also be used, but I have not had a need for that, and have seen it screw up with the dopey "preparatory moves", so I just don't use it.
