There used to be a capability to run part of a G-code program that exceeds the machine limits. I tried doing this today, and got the first big dialog box that says "program exceeds machine minimum on axis Y" and hit the "run anyway" button. I intended to stop the program before it ran into the limits.
The spindle started, the Z axis moved a short distance, then the spindle stopped and I got a different dialog box, the Axis one with the red stop sign with the white X in it, saying "linear move on line 448 would exceed joint 1's negative limit". So, I had to edit the program to put an M02 before the part where it would exceed the limits. So, now the behavior is that you cannot run the beginning of a program which much later will exceed a machine limit. My EMC2 version on this production machine is a Git download from late 2009, I think. Any comments on this? The "run anyway" button now appears to not be usable anymore.
