Possible to only load certain cuts ?

[deanwerden]

Last night I was cutting a file that was up around 85 cuts. I lost air and the plasma shut down. I pressed feed hold and looked at sheet cam, I was on the middle of cut 38 so I turned the torch off and 're ran the program, waited until cut 37 flipped the torch back on and let the run the rest of the program

My question is : other than 're numbering all of the cuts is there a way to tell sheetcam to just cut from 38 and on ? I have used feed hold in mach before and when I resume it is a disaster ( can't remember the exact details of what happened )

Thanks in advance

That is the exact reason I always zero,home my torch where I can return to the exact start point. When this happens my solution has been to return to SheetCam, move the items already cut to another layer to not cut, then recreate the tap file. Open in Mach 3 and hit start.
I have tried the "run from here" and other suggestions found in these forums and nothing seems to work right.

I just back up Mach to the last M5 before it stopped and set that as the next line and start. Works fine for me.

If you start at the beginning and watch Mach's cut display screen and click on the scroll bar down arrow in the G-code display screen you will see the G-code advance and as it does the position on the torch is shown in white. See attached image the blue arrow is the down arrow for the G-code screen, the yellow shows the torch movement following the G-code. move to the last good cut and then back the G-code up to that M5 line, red arrow and click on "Set Next Line" then click on Run. The table will move to that position and run from there to continue your cutting operation.
