how to go back a step in Mach 3

Post by tdoe151 »

My problem is some times my torch fires but does not pierce and then it finishes the cut {the torch move the shape of the cut but torch is off} and then moves on to the next pierce. Can someone tell me how to go back to previous pierce and restart the program from there? Thank you for your time!!
