Can LNCN be stopped/paused and resumed without starting over

Hi Folks,

I had a question occur to me today.

What if you have a very large Gcode file and you need to stop it for some reason (say to sharpen or change a tool).
Is there a way to pause the program, move one or more axes, and resume where you left off?

Thanks in advance

Sort of.
linuxcnc.org/docs/html/config/moveoff.html
It is a hal component that lets you jog while paused using a set of offsets to fool Linuxcnc into thinking it hasn't actually moved.

Sometimes it is just better to stop the file, note your line number, and then edit your file by removing the lines already run, then restart it.

Thanks for responding Todd.

Thinking on it more, modifying the file would make the most sense.
You can set new tool offsets (for the sharpened or replaced tool) and start were you left off.
Telling LCNC the truth is usually best;-).
A simply; copy/paste of original file->edit->reload->go, and you're off and running again.

Thanks again, Allen
