You should do testing with this:
I do have more complicated stuff, just in case ...

Thanks Tommy, that would make a great screen for my water heater. I just need to fertilise and water my table so it grows big enought to cut it...

Note, all machines have a startup shortcut and it worked OK always, the desktop shortcut uses /usr/bin/linuxcnc while the startup shortcut uses linuxcnc only, although i doubt that changes anything, but i do close and open LinuxCNC quite often and had no problem with this till using the desktop shortcut on both machines.

Do you force a terminal from the shortcut to see if there are any error messages?

Thanks Tommy, actually the one you posted is a perfect size, if you had a dxf of that I could probably split it up and index a sheet and move it around.

OK...
state-out = 13 indicates the Z is moving to safe height.
stop-type = 2 indicates it is waiting for a M3 to start the next cut.
All the pics show that the current line is a move to Xnn/Ynn but if you look at the DRO X/Y they show the current position as being the last X/Y position from the previous cut.
This indicates that the component thinks that safe height has not been reached and it is still setting feed-hold on (plasmac.feed-hold). There should be no differences in QtPlasmaC and PlasmaC as they both use the same component and all this is controlled from the component. Maybe if I try one less decimal in the float comparison it may help. I'll play around a bit later today.
I "think" the Down LED may just be a timing issue of what it was doing last when the previous cut stopped and it got hung up...

Here it is, sorry for the delay, reasons below ...

Thanks for that Tommy, sorry, I missed this post.
