something i miss i can do in mach3
change from g64 to g61 while in feedhold.
tried it using mdi- rejected.

i still use g61 for exact cabinet work
but if for instance i have a text carve onto an object in the program it would be nice to just hold and change- rather than having to re edit code.
i use vectric which doesnt give the option per toolpath- only per job

You can Stop while in feedhold when the feed stopped, enter G61 into MDI and then Cycle start.
If you also want the spindle to start then you can start it with the screen button or M3 before Cycle start or you can press the run from here and have the turn spindle checkbox ticked on the popup screen.
