    Having had quite a few failed jobs lately with power interruptions and other issues, my current process is to rerun the same job with the toolhead empty, then load this up as it reaches the failed point to continue operation.

    This works ok for something that takes 10 mins, but if a job fails say 1 hour in, rather than rerun a job for 1 hour before loading up the toolhead I'm looking for easier ways to start the job at the failed point. I realise this will involve editing the Gcode, so I'm looking for a Gcode editor that can easier identify the area I'm looking to use, something like a graphical view of my gcode and a way to click on the point on the graphic which then shows the Gcode line within the file.....Or even better fast forward through the Gcode without editing it !

    Any ideas, sounds like quite a common issue,
    thanks.

    Thank you.

    Is there any way to pick a point on the 3D view which then highlights the GCode line ?
