+++++ How does the Run from Here procedure work? |
+In an event of an emergency stop or failure of a mill machine running a program file, it is often useful to be able to open the file back up afterwards and be able to continue from the middle of the program without having to go through all the steps again. This is often complicated by the fact that a large program file consists of many lines of code, making it difficult to easily navigate to the place where the cutting process stopped initially. In order to facilitate finding this spot, the Run from Here process is put in place in myCNC software.
+The Run from Here method is described in the following section of the myCNC Screen manual: [[http://docs.pv-automation.com/mycnc/mycnc_setup_examples/four_axes_mill#run_from_here|manual link]]

 ++++ Why is the knife not turning when using the Tangential Knife profile (X1366V)? |
+{{youtube>zcrRAU9BJ0E?large}}
 Check that the tangential knife is turned on in the settings. Alternatively, check that the knife is assigned the correct tool number in the DXF file import window - the tangential cutting control turns on for specific tools such as knife, half-knife and creasing wheel, and turns off for tools such as marker and camera. If an incorrect tool is assigned to a certain path during the DXF import, that tool might be one of the ones which do not require tangential cutting control to be enabled.
