In what situations would you use "Pause For Jogging" in the manual tool change message dialog?
Select this to rotate the spindle.
I'm not familiar with CNC operations, so I had some doubts.

(When using qtdragon for manual tool change.)

I think that this is probably a feature of the UI that you are using, rathe than a base LinuxCNC feature.

One use would be to move the spindle to a more convenient place to perform the manual toolchange.

You're right. The question is about the qtdragon GUI.

That's true!
If you change the AUTO mode from , you can move the spindle position.
I haven't found a useful way to use it yet, but it's good to know that it's possible.

This GUI not only allows you to escape the Z axis when pausing without stopping the program, but also allows you to optionally move and rotate the spindle when manually changing tools.
