How do I make CIMCO Edit Ultra pause automatically on collisions or over-travel errors?

Direct answer

Open Backplot and use Stop Conditions in the Toolpath section of the ribbon. Enable Tool And Models to pause when the tool collides with the workpiece, fixture, clamp, or another model, and enable Travel Limits to stop when an axis move exceeds the target machine's physical range. M00, M01, M02, and M30 can also pause playback, but those are planned program stops rather than errors, so enable them only when they help the review you are performing.

Practical checkpoint

Prove both protections with a known collision and a known travel-limit violation. Confirm playback stops at the responsible move and the Simulation Report identifies the cause before relying on the setup for unattended review.
