Single Block (Line) Mode?

[BrandanS]

Hey ShopBotters,

I would like to run the ShopBot in what CNC Users would identify as "Single Block" Stepping. That is to say a mode wherein the ShopBot runs a single line at a time and prompts before running the next line. This is often very useful for First-Time runs or troubleshooting cutting paths.

I though that I had seen documentation for this functionality, but can't find it. Does such a beast exist? If so, how?

Thanks,

Brandan R Smith

As Murphy's Law would posit, I found something under FG? Does this work like an FP, where it calls the file and simply runs in Single Step?

Thanks again,

Brandan R Smith

You can do it in VCarve quite easily on the preview. Either single stepping or running to retract.

Personally I wouldn't like to do it on the ShopBot during a real cut though.
