Hi, I have been playing around with engraving and today i was engraving but it took quite a long time and then i had to go to work so i have to turn the machine off
but now how do i go  back to the place i have left i had wrote the gcode line #
thx for you help..

Mach needs to know where it is in preparation to starting  from some controlled point in the program
It does that by cycling thru the program, now you tell Mach where you want to start. Mach now knows where it needs to go to
and it will provide the necessary move to that point.

Note that some of this depends on how you stopped the program.....

1.you load the g code program
2. click [run from here] and Mach will cycle thru the code
3.in the line: put the line number you stoped at
4.click the [run from here] mach cycles to that line
5. press cycle start, you will get a window asking to accept a prep positioning move ( mach will look at where you are  verses
 what the point is in the code and provide a prep move to that point.)
6. When you click ok for the prep move you are accepting that move based on where your home position  currently is
7. mach now starts running from that point

Think i got it right,

ONE thing to rememeber you must reference the part back to the machine exactly like you did the first time.

(;-) TP

THX so much that worked out great
