yes +1!
Raising the Z when feed hold activates is something like, also beeing able to jog while feed hold is active as i can with my current multicam machine. Allows me to remove whatever moved or came loose before resuming.

You can simply do a stop instead of feedhold since stop in the UCCNC is also a controlled motion (with decceleration) and then you can jog.
Rise the Z when stopped can be done using the 3D printer plugin, it is exactly doing that...

feedhold as it is works well on a router, leaves spindle running (unlike stop)
great when a cut part spits out from the job and just needs to be moved before continuing.
i prefered how it worked in mach 3 where in feedhold you could say adjust a dro a bit then continue, but uccnc isnt mach3 and ive learnt its work arounds.
obviously, mill and plasma needs differ in what we think feedhold should do.

Hi Battwell, I agree. I prefer to stop, spindle off, safe Z. Move Axis wherever, do whatever, and when ready press cycle start and continue with Gcode. Fortunately UCCNC has workarounds, plugins and macro's to accommodate everyone's different preference.

Interested in reading your workarounds if you don't mind sharing.

nothing special dan. feedhold is feedhold only.
if a dro needs a tweek etc stop must be pressed, tweek the dro , restart spindle, press cycle start :-)

Hi Battwell,
From my testing I see any axis dro movement after Stop() UCCNC will continue with gcode after CYcle Start press as not moved, buffer is cleared, It will not return back to position.

I been working on a plugin that will do this, button press will Stop() shut off spindle and record position. move axis where you like and when cycle start is pressed it will return back to stopped position and continue with settings it was stopped in.

Unfortunately this only works with UCCNC test versions since it uses functions that aren't available for Net2 versions.
