Conditionals in GCODE ???

Does Marlin support conditionals (as implemented in Slic3r) ??

I want to be able to pause a print at a specific layer or height to insert a nut or magnet without manually editing the GCODE - the scope for getting it wrong is huge.

Also what about "while" loops and "goto" or "branch" ??

Perhaps there are other ways to achieve this ??

Regards,
Dave

How would you do this in the PC ??

I usually print from the SDCard, but I could revert if necessary.

... I've modified Pronterface for pastedispensing and laserengraving - here only the "needed" G- and M-codes are sent with conditions or pauses ...
