Resume Carve (Beta)

Has your machine ever stopped running during a carve? Perhaps you lost power, your machine was accidentally disconnected, or you had to press the emergency stop button. Now, instead of starting the carve over from the beginning, Easel Pro customers can pick up the carve exactly where it left off - saving time and peace of mind!

This new feature, available in beta testing to Easel Pro subscribers, allows you to restart a carve from any point in the toolpaths. Recover from interruptions more quickly with Resume Carve!

Step by Step Walkthrough

To resume a carve that got interrupted, first select the "Resume Carve" option from the new dropdown option on the "Carve" button:

This will launch a carve walkthrough much like the one you're used to, except that there will be a new step to select the starting point for the carve right before you kick it off:

On this step you have a few different controls to make it possible to zero in on the exact point where you want to begin the carve:

1. Slider control. Use the slider to quickly get close to your intended starting position
2. Step buttons. Use the step buttons to move one point at a time either forward or backward.
3. Point window. Use the point window to either select or verify the starting position. The Z value, in particular, can be helpful to confirm the depth at which the carve will begin. A negative Z value is below the material surface. A positive Z value is above the material surface.

Warning: When starting a carve in the middle, it is important to exercise extra caution to make sure you are choosing a safe starting point.
