    Can't you referance the machine (X=0.0, Y=0.0) then start the same program with the plasma off, turn the plasma back on just before the spot the machine stopped/ faulted out.

    Easiest way to restart is to move down your code to where the cut stopped. Press the "Run From Here" button. Follow the prompts. You will get a pop up box. In it you should leave everything as is but make sure that the start spindle is not checked other wise your torch will fire as soon as you hit ok. Just remember to start the code where the torch fires and you should be ok. Hope this makes sense. It took me a few tries to get it figured out.
