Restarting a job from last line of gcode run

I was on the last 10 minutes of a 2 hour job and accidently hit the stop button. The only option I found was to restart the job from the beginning. Carbide Motion tells me the line it was on when it stopped.
Is there anyway to start from that line?

You can manually edit the gcode if you feel comfortable. Make sure you keep the header and I usually go back to the last retraction.

To clarify, I believe he means make a copy of the file and edit the copy gcode file with something like notepad++ (or BBEdit if on a mac), edit by cutting out parts of the gcode that have already been done, saving it, and running the edited file. Be careful if you do this though, you can do some damage if you don’t know what the gcode does.

Apologies if you know all of this already, I just wanted to expand on what @neilferreri said to let you (and anyone with a similar question reading this later) know you need to do that externally from the Carbide Motion app, I don’t think there is a way to resume within the CM software…

And make sure the first command (after the header stuff) is a move to your “safe height” so you don’t crash into anything like I have done at least twice. :frowning:
