Resume from same spot

There is a work-around, depending on a few things.

1- Do you know where the torch lost it’s cut? ( X / Y location.)

2 - Has to piece (base metal) moved?

If you know the location where the cut stopped, and the metal hasn’t moved, it’s easy enough to modify the “Cut from here” code to get your results.

(This assumes you haven’t changed home or moved your plate.)

1st - select the line of code that was running when the cut failed. If a long cut, make sure the beginning is selected. Use Start from line to generate new code.

2nd - Look at the code generated. Does is start near your cut problem. If not, go back and select another line that gets clos we.

3rd - If everything looks good, make sure (move) the torch is over the area the cut failed. Note the X and Y values from the DRO.

4th - save the generated file. I’ll try to get pics, but its the 2nd icon next to your file.

5th - Editing. Open the file you saved in a text editor (Notepad). The inital torch location sould be listed as a G0 X… Y… command near the top of the code. Change this to the X / Y location from step 3. (Where the cut stopped / failed.)

6th - save and load into FireControl.

What should occur, given everything is correct, is FireControl should move to the area where the cut failed ( the X / Y you entered), pierce, and continue the cut. This bypasses the previous cut areas if a long curwas occurring when the fail happened.
