The plate was bigger than my machine's travel limits, so I set up the program to do as much as the machine could reach in one run. Then I moved the plate and tried to use the same program to do another section of the plate, but the tail end of the program would have exceeded the travel limits. I planned to stop the program when it had finished enough of the holes. I have done things like this in the past, and the first dialog box with the "run anyway" button implies that EMC2 can do this. A quick fix was to put an M02 in the program at the appropriate spot.
Yes, after moving the plate, I had to center over the last row of holes and "touch off" the coordinates based on that position.
