Adding my $0.02… As a user of several Linuxcnc machines (and not having used any controller before - commercial or not) this has always annoyed me and everyone else who I’ve had to teach to use the machines. It is one of those things that catches you out no matter how much experience you have.

And that is very similar to the way industrial controls does handle that. IMHO only linuxcnc does handle that in a different way. My Heckler & Koch and also my MAZAK do allow jogging in Manual / MDI Mode. Norbert Am 17.01.2016 um 14:19 schrieb Stuart Stevenson: > Gentlemen, > > acknowledgement >

Please do not mess thinks up! I speak about MDI mode not AUTO mode! Jogging in AUTO mode is dangerous and should not be allowed. If necessary use move off or stop the program. I agree, that run from line "is not implemented" in linuxcnc and you may know, that gmoccapy disable run from line as def
