Hi.

Something I'm noticing on Mach3...

Sometimes when I pause a job mid cycle, then resume, the feedrate used is much slower than it was before (maybe about 30% speed at a guess). It generally sorts itself out after a few movements (perhaps the next time a feedrate is defined in the GCode). I generally use GCode output from Vetric's Cut2D application. Generally I try and pause on an upwards Z movement when the spindle is moving away from the workpiece.

I'm thinking perhaps the next X and Y movements are using the feedrate of the Z axis (which is much slower) but can't see why this would be. Running a program end to end with no pauses everything runs as it should.

Does anyone have any thoughts on what could cause this? Is it a system setting somewhere in Mach3? I couldn't find anything...

Thanks in advance
