    Hello all -
    Is there a way to pause the interface? I have a giant 3d roughing and I really don't want to leave it overnight. You can pause on the openbuilds software, but I don't see that option on the interface,.

    Make sure your firmware is up to date (1.57)
    Then hit Abort - it first pauses. Then asks you if you want to Resume or Stop. Leaving it on pause - you can hit Resume when you want to continue

    This feature works great, I frequently pause 20-30 hour roughings (so my wife and son can sleep!).

    Will INTERFACE ever allow stopping and "run from line" like the newly announced Beta version of CONTROL?

    Interface is unlikely to support it

    Well, that is a shame, the reason I got interface was to run these long carves so I don’t have to leave a computer running them. The pause method does seem to work though.

    Theres always manually editing gcode, put it back on USB. The automatic tool is also "at your own risk" - manual editing is always safer. Ensuring modals and safe entry moves are correct
