I've been using EMC2 now for a while and I really like it. I just have a couple of questions. A lot of the parts I'm making require tool changes, and what I've found is that it would be really nice to have the program run a section, then pause so I can jog the machine, change tools, touch off, then resume the program. I've been using M00 to pause the program at different points so I can change tools, however I have to actually stop the program in order to jog the machine and do my tool change, then after I'm done I have to touch off again, then highlight the next line of code in the preview window at the bottom and then right click and select start from here. Is there a better way to do it? I'm honestly not well versed in gcode since I'm self-taught, but I'd like to streamline my process if it's possible. It's nothing critical mind you, and it's in no way a complaint against EMC2, just something that I had been wondering about. In fact it was only the other night that I learned that while touching off I could use the I and C keys to jump back and forth between constant jogging and interval jogging and then use the END key to set the offset. hahaha I know I know I'm probably WAY behind on learning gcode, but anyway if anyone has a suggestion I would be most grateful.
