Hi Everyone,

I am looking for some help. I am moving an XYZ table with Mach3. I am trying to make a G Code Program for a specific application and haven't had any luck.

I am moving the tool to some coordinates on X,Y and Z away from home. Then I make some movements on Y. Then the issue....I want the program to wait so I can jog and position somewhere else, then somehow press a button and continue running the program with these new coordinates that I Jogged to. Is there any way to do this?

Go Home (OK)
Move X and Y and Z to a certain position (OK)
Use tool (OK)
Move +Y (OK)
Use Tool (OK)
Move +Y (OK)
Use Tool (OK)
Move +Y (OK)
----------------------------------
Wait and let me jog on X Y Z manually (?)
Save the new Y coordinate (?)
Press 'Ok' (?)
Use Tool (?)
Move -Y (?)
Use Tool (?)
Move -Y
Use Tool (?)
Move -Y (?)

I hope I am not too confusing. As always, thank you everyone for your help which is appreciated in advanced!

Did you try changing to Incremental motion mode? That way your cnc moves will be relative to the current position, not the home position.
