 Consult the QuickStart [[quickstart:mycnc-quick-start:start-stop-setup|Start/Stop Setup]] for a full overview of the available features.
+NOTE: Some plasma features (such as the tie toolpath to position button) require to have axes selected in the ''Toolpath Position checking'' field. Without the check marks for the axes that you would like the machine to check for, no action will be performed (on plasma machine, X and Y axes are recommended to be selected).
