Topic: Where to add @pause in gcode?

I guess I lost my mind lol. I have printed 2 color logos  several times a few months ago, but for the life of me I cant remember how I did it. I know  the @pause command has  to be inserted in the gcode where you want to change colors.I can't remember how to find the line in the gcode where it needs to go and also what I need to put in the Run on pause line.

Re: Where to add @pause in gcode?

In the gcode tab, click on the various lines and look at the status bar below to see what layer they're in.  (The changing of colors in the left margin also shows layer changes, but if you have a z-lift set, those will also count, so it becomes nigh useless.)

thanks for the reminder,  after staring at it for a bit, it finally came to me.
