Finally getting somewhere on my new plasma, and working on my post processor. If anyone could, please review this output and let me know if it will work please. My machine is not fully wired and powered up, so I can't just try it yet. Thanks.

Code is for 4 random rectangles.
The op stop in the middle is from a forced toolchange. Intended use is to allow me a chance to grab off fall or let torch cool off if I want. Mainly concerned if that section will do what I think. Retract in Z and wait for me to press cycle start again, and it will continue successfully?

Everyone's machine is different so testing your machines custom PP may not work with other machines. You really should get the machine working first then you can edit and tweak your PP for your specific machine.

If you have the machine setup for homing at start up then you can simply use the "torch check" button on the VCP to pause cutting at any time you want. This will allow you to check things, clear away anything or even change the consumables if needed. No need for a pseudo tool change really. Torch Check will raise the torch to the top of the Z axis and you can even have it move to a predetermined location set in G28 if needed. This is to check or change the consumables. It will invoke the restart mode and you can simply start again where you left off.

The G00 after the G53 is not needed.

But even with the G00 the G53 should override the G00.

Ill run this on my table quick and see what restart mode thinks of these extra G-codes.
