    Axis: "Touch off" stops the spindle

    Hello,

    I'm using EMC2 with Axis ui.
    In manual mode spindle rotating is controlled with axis ui buttons.
    Rotating edge finder is used to set workpiece zero points.
    When I press "Touch Off" button in Axis ui, EMC always stops the spindle.
    This is quite annoying, I have to always start spidle again to find next axis zero point.
    Can this be changed so that "Touch off" button would'nt stop the spindle?

    Ah, I like the idea of an automatic spindle stop. I always stop the spindle before jogging up anyway, after having an edgefinder crawl it's way onto a part I was setting up, and jam itself between the surface and the edgefinder body, marring the finish and killing the part.

    An autostop would save me one keypress.
