I can think if a workaround, though it isn't especially nice, and a working jog-while-paused would be better. A PyVCP / GladeVCP or physical button could be added that feeds in an offset to the commmanded X and Z positions. In HAL this would be AND-ed with halui.program.is-paused so that the button is only active when the machine is paused, then it would operate a mux2 compionent that passes either 0 or the chosen retract through a Limit3 component and then to two "offset" components interposed between axis.0.motor-position-cmd and pid.0.command and between axis.2.motor-position-cmd and pid.2.command. So, when the machine is paused it is possible to press a HAL button that offsets the tool away from the work. This would only work for typical right-to-left cutting, where a positive offset in X and Y is what is needed. Of course adoption of one of the jog-while-paused options that have been coded would be a better solution. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
