Future request line block options?

[Rare]

Hello
Is it possible in the future version when using the line block option to run it with the ability to turn the spindle off?
I use this to try to re align work and basically do not need to spindle to turn on.

it would also be nice to be able to cycle thru the lines of codes with the pendant knob back and forward if possible.

Thank you!

In general, you can keep the spindle off simply by selecting Manual spindle mode. In Manual spindle mode, M3 and M4 cannot start the spindle.

Unfortunately, the factory-supplied M3 and M4 macros prevent you from proceeding without changing back to Auto spindle mode (at which point they then start the spindle).

You could, of course, select Auto spindle mode when the M3 macro requires it; then immediately switch back to Manual mode to, and press Spindle Stop if necessary to stop the spindle again.

If you do this a lot, you might prefer to just delete the factory-supplied M3 and M4 macros (they are not needed, as M3 and M4 are built-in functions of CNC12). Then you would just need to acknowledge a warning and press Cycle Start to proceed, without selecting Auto mode and without having the spindle start up.

we have jog along the path both forward and backward working in CNC12 Plasma. and even jog off and restart from that jog point back to path!
its on the to do list to roll this feature into the other versions of CNC12.
