Here's my issue.

If I'm machining a part, then click on Feed Hold, then move the Z up manually - say to clear the bit or change the bit (not touching X or Y) - then click on Cycle Start I expect the machine to move back to the appropriate Z height, then carry on. Instead, it moves the X AND Y AND Z axis' and carries on. Any idea what could be causing this?

Thanks,
Rich

It looks like that's just the way Mach3 works.

Try using Stop after feedhold, then use "Run From Here". That should do what you want.

Upgrading from 3.043.022 to 3.043.066 fixed this issue. It was added in a release in January apparently. It pops up a dialog warning that it is going to move, then returns to the right spot, then you click Cycle Start again, and the job continues.

I'll have to check, but I thought I was testing with .066, and got the same results you did??
