Any help greatfully appreciated Unfortunately, there's no easy way. The only thing you can do is modify the Gcode by deleting all the stuff it has already done. Then running it. |

In theory - if you had the homing switches...and your work piece did not move.... could you not just start over and the cutting that was already done would just be "air" cut until it reaches the point it stopped then start cutting again right where it left off? IDK - I'm asking - seems like it should work that way in theory.

Not that it is going to make you feel any better, but I've done pretty much the same thing.
I always run homing and set up a WCS origin before a big job or at least jot down the machine coordinates of the origin so I can come back in on the file and be lined up. As some one else mentioned, you can kind of hack up the g code to get back (close) to where you were.

The problem was when I drop computer it kind off crashed the program when I put USB back in. So had to reset platform and there for coordinates off. Need to figure out how to set work homing.
Thanks

Thanks You can set up a G54. That way you home, call up a G54 and it always goes to the same spot to start your work. |
