Picking up where I left off

[MrFTAMan]

Hey Guys,
I had a bad situation while Carvewright was carving. The project was like 70% carved when I accidentally dropped something and caused the machine to be unplugged.
I had to start all over on a new board.
Is it possible to take up where it left off, should this happen again?
Thanks

Many times you can go back to your design, Draw a rectangle that covers the width, and is slightly shorted than the portion just carved. Make it a carve region and set the depth to ZERO, and reload your card. It should think for a minute or two and then begin to carve what is outside the ZERO section.

Or just put the board back in ( or don't remove it in the first loace ) and start the project over again. You will air carve for a while then continue where the machine stopped. Either way, covering the already carved area or air carving, the continuation should be seamless.

Thank you guys for your responses! I was really sick about what happened. I will try the techniques you both mention if that happens again.

Good to know. I wished I asked that a long time ago.
