Re: Restarting

I did get this reply from Tim Goldstein, which is exactly what I was after:

 

Got it. To start on a specific line you go to the File menu, edit, then select the line you want to start on. Then click the "Set run mark" button. Now I click File, Exit.

 

Now when you start the program it will jump down (well more like work its way down rapidly) to the marked line to run from there.

Every machine controller out there is a little different when it comes to doing a restart.

Okuma's you let it search for the N block, Fanuc's you go into edit and put the cursor on the line, Mazak's you tell it what process you want.

I think what Brett is asking is about restarting the gcode program executing from somewhere besides the beginning.  Like searching out an N number and then cycle starting..  I would like to know if this is possible myself.

Haven't finished building my machine yet but I did make it throught the BDI.

I didn't see how to do a restart. I know it's loosely based on the Fanc control and on those you go into edit and arrow down to the line you want to start on, switch to memory and go.

Basically what I'm getting at is how do you restart EMC?

 

Thanks,
