    My machine stopped working in the middle of a job and I was told that in Openbuilds you can now restart a file in such case from the last routing point instead of having to CNC a lot of air to get to the point it had stopped. Can anyone tell me how.

    - Fix whatever caused it to stop first!
    - Open the file that didn't complete
    - Make sure the machine Origin is still correct (ensuring 0,0,0 is where it should be is critical) - if you perform correct setups rehoming should be all it needs.
    - Wizards and Tools > Recover crashed/stopped job and follow the onscreen prompts - note its a very much a "at your own risk" tool - check the gcode before you run it!
