Split advance v carve gcode

How To
1

Hi
Apologies if it’s already been covered but can anyone help with how to split the g code for an advance v carve file?
I haven’t got a bit setter so would like to be able to run as 2 separate files, using my z probe between carves.
I’ve found the line in the code where the tool change happens but what, if anything, do I need to add/subtract to the separate files once split?

Thanks
Russ

If you must do this:

  • open up the G-Code file in a text editor
  • identify the preamble and copy it into a new file
  • identify where the tool change occurs
  • scroll up from there until you find a move down from safety height
  • select everything from there down cut it and paste it into the new file
  • save under a new name
  • identify the post-amble at the bottom of the new file
  • paste it into the original file
  • resave under a suitable name

Thank you. I will give it a go with a small/simple file first.

Thanks again
Russ
