+++++ How to load G-code or DXF files into the software? |
+The files that you are attempting to load must be located in folders that are specified in the **Settings > Config > Preferences > Common** fields for **NC code folders**. If a folder that you would like to load your files from is missing, add it on a new line and press the Save Configuration button:

+If a folder is not listed in the NC code folders list (or is not within one of the folders listed), you will not be able to open files from it  within the myCNC application.
+After you have listed the folders that you would like to have access to, you can open files using the **Open G-code** and **Open DXF** buttons from the main software screen:

 ++++ How does the Run from Here procedure work? |
+{{youtube>86YEjR1CJlw?large}}
 In an event of an emergency stop or failure of a mill machine running a program file, it is often useful to be able to open the file back up afterwards and be able to continue from the middle of the program without having to go through all the steps again. This is often complicated by the fact that a large program file consists of many lines of code, making it difficult to easily navigate to the place where the cutting process stopped initially. In order to facilitate finding this spot, the Run from Here process is put in place in myCNC software.
