Please Help with FG Command Problem

Guru's

Last night I was running a large 3D file (880,000+ lines) and it cut perfect for 4 1/2 hrs to 50%. I stopped the file, shut down SB3, and left the machine powered to keep position. Today I started SB3, warmed up the spindle, and tried to do an FG command to re-start the file. The appropriate dialog box came up with the previous line from where I stopped loaded in the window and the re-start file circle dotted. I clicked "GO", it ask me to start the spindle, I did, then it thought for few seconds and I got a "Run-time error '9' Subscript out of range", when I clicked OK it shut down SB3. I tried it several times with the same result. I called tech support and they said they had no idea. Told me to try starting at an earlier line, or re-load the firmware...did both. Neither worked. Anybody know what this is?

I have a 2010 PRS Alpha and using 3.6.44.

Thanks,
Mark

No idea....BUT - You can delete everything between the 1st J3 line and your line number & save the file. Then do an FP to run it like any other file. Make sure the 1st line is a J3 with POSITIVE Z value so it doesn't have a collision.

Thanks Brady! I was so disgusted I didn't think about that. I finally just shut it down and walked away. Figured I work it out later. Love this machine but hate the damn thing when it doesn't work. It probably thinks the same about me. I always appreciate your knowledge.

Thanks, Mark
