MCam Editor DNC Question

[JMFabrications]

Hey Guy,

Some of our programs are too large for memory so I have been running them DNC through the MCam editor. The problem is that if a tool breaks during the operation the only way I have been able to restart at that point using DNC is to manually delete all the lines in the program up until that point. I know there are some DNC programs out there that will allow you to restart at any line just by calling the line number. Is this possible with the built in MCam editor....I have MCam X, first release? If not does anyone know of a fairly cheap program that will allow this?

Thanks for your help,
Jim

I just repost the program and leave out everything prior to the toolpath with the broken tool. Starting a program by line number is a like playing with fire, its best left alone, especially on the older controls.
