Is there any way to include a ‘pause’ in the GCode. I’m drawing quite complex images and want to change over the pen color at a certain point. Watching the progress and manually pressing pause isn’t going to do it.
Sorry if this is a double post, but my original didn’t come through. Patrick

where x is a whole number (1,2,3,4,5, 603, etc) at the line where you want the machine to pause.
You could also tryG00 Z90; // lift pen
M06 Tx;
G00 Z0; // lower penIf I’ve got that the right way around. it might be z0 for lift and z90 for lower on your machine.
