1. OVERRIDES AND TOGGLES
Platform version only. Easily control the real time feed and speed overrides by enabling the Overrides widget in the Window menu.

2. JOG MODE
With older versions of GRBL UGS is pretty reliable when it comes to jogging, but there are limitations. With GRBL 1.1 this is no longer the case when using the new JOG MODE syntax. This first-class jog mode guarantees the GCODE state will be unaltered, and also allows you to stop a jog while it is in progress. UGS uses this new syntax automatically when it detects a version of GRBL which supports it. During a jog use the STOP action to stop an in-progress

jog:>> $J=G21G91X0.7F11 ok

>> $J=G21G91Y0.7F11 ok

>> $J=G21G91Z-0.7F11 ok

3. PIN REPORTING STATE
Platform version only. New flags have been added to the controller state window to indicate when various external switches are enabled.

Message resolution GRBL removed most help and error messages to make room for new features on the micro controller, they are now provided as data files in the grbl source code. UGS uses these data files to resolve all error codes and setting strings.
