Sorry if this has been addressed before but I could not find it.

After stopping a program and I try to “Start From Line” the router goes over the material but stops and the tool path lines turn yellow. I does not generate an err but will not run. What am I doing wrong?

I did a search and it looks like it has been mentioned multiple times, most recently here: [Start from line issues](https://forum.sienci.com/t/start-from-line-issues/15686)

Although I am not seeing a resolution posted but may have missed it.

Hi haven’t had a chance to document this and send to customer support yet. Will let everyone know when I get results back.  
Thanks, Stan…

Thanks for the replies. I tried every thing in that post several times before I posted but with no solution. What I am thinking is after it gets the start command and travels to the starting node it does not have a speed reference so it just sets there. I am not a gcode person and was going to look up the speed code and try to input it on the terminal to see if it would run. What does the yellow tool path mean?

Take a look at the **Running Jobs** section of the [Using gSender](https://resources.sienci.com/view/gs-using-gsender/) page. It explains the colours there:

Thanks for the reply. It has been a while since I updated my gsender user material but I am still confused because it looks like the yellow is just head of the cutter. When I try to use the “Start From” everything left in the file to run goes yellow and the machine sets.
