You can define this behaviour in the ini file. You can have the old emc behaviour that always stops the spindle/coolant when switching modes (auto/mdi/manual). If you do, then on each mode change, spindle will get stopped ... > At that point, I highlight the line in the nc file > where I left off and hit "set next line", but there is no way to turn the > coolant/spindle back on unless you manually edit the nc file to include an > M3S**** M8 statement prior to the line where you want to resume, and > reload the > nc file. which I have done. How about pushing spindle on / coolant on on the AXIS interface, or programming M3Sxxx and M8 from the MDI interface? > This can be tedious.
