is there a way to start a job in the middle or at any position of the job instead of from the very beginning? Maybe I should be saying skip a step. If anyone understands my question thanks for any answer.
only by Editing the gcode, because: a) you need to bring in any Modal gcodes that was active from earlier in the job (offsets, spindle, modes, mm/inch, absolute/incremental, etc) b) you need to write gcode to position the endmill correctly just prior to the first move you want to run from That why its almost impossible to automate -> gcode is a conversation with the controller, things lead up to the line you want to run, you (as a human) can add what's needed, setup the machine in the right spots, and right offsets, and correct zero. A program can not. It really boils down to "better know what you are doing or it will just crash" Of course that requires a little more experience with Gcode (not for beginners)
