Ignoring tool change commands. Manually removing the T1 M6 is annoying. You know this will accomplish that for you...
You're a wizard! Thank you

I've got a solution to the mm/inch thing prototyped (the NetBeans data model is truly delightful), and, depending on how much time I spend getting Mother's day stuff together, I may be able to validate the change with my CNC this weekend. Once it's validated, I'll push it to GitHub, and I supposed put in a pull request (and anyone that wants to can grab it from my fork in the mean time...)

I just put in a pull request to try to get it merged into Winder's master branch

Not sure if its possible, but these would be nice changes:
Able to save multiple work offsets and pull them up on a screen. I know you can save them, but you have to manually put in a code and I have yet to find where they are saved
A much easier Jog function. Instead of having X+ and X-, can we just select X,Y, or Z and the ability to hold down the arrow keys to move it in the + and - directions instead of manually putting in values? Manually typing out movements have caused me a lot of issue, just yesterday I put 10 inches in Y and didnt realize it didnt over write the field, but instead put the 10 in front of the previous value, so Y wanted to move 102 inches :/. This is also more in line with larger CNC machines as well.
Easier buttons to select smaller increments. .1, .01, and .001 instead of having to manually type things out.
Some sort of help function that can bring up all the codes that this program uses. Like how to set up a G55 ect.

It's gonna be more involved than the step change thing I did (which it looks like Will is gonna merge into the main branch ) but it'll be a good way to expand what I understand of the code. Regarding the jog problem, I've broken many a 1-2mm bit because I over-jogged something. I might just make a different "manual" jog panel that works more like a joystick. It will be a little more involved, but I think it's doable. -Kev

You could save an offset and have a list with their corresponding machine coordinates. For easier increments check the options, there are keyboard shortcuts for changing the jogging increments.

Can you do canned cycles in ugs?

When you hit the stop button PLEASE dont revert to mm! (That was a $30 dollar mistake)

Is it possible to assign keystrokes to different jog increments? NOT to change the increment, but something like this example:
Ctrl and Right Arrow - Jog Right in .01mm increments LeftShift and Right Arrow - Jog Right in .1mm increments RightShift and Right Arrow - Jog Right in 1mm increments Tab and Right Arrow - Jog Right in 5mm increments Alt and Right Arrow - Jog Right in 10mm increments
If that were possible I could use an Arduino Nano to make a pendant with buttons for each unique keystroke combo, giving me complete control over Jog direction AND increment in one place.

When you hit the stop button PLEASE dont revert to mm! (That was a $30 dollar mistake) Which build are you running when that occurs? I've been using a current build, and I haven't seen that happen, but I mostly keep my system in MM anyway, so maybe I just didn't notice it? I'm assuming you're talking about the 'stop' button in the toolbar. If you're talking about something else, please let me know. I've been poking around a bunch in this code, while ignoring all the other stuff I was supposed to get done today.
I need to find a way to attach a fake CNC machine, so I can test stuff without being in my shop. Anyone have a suggestion there?

I currently have ctrl-right/left/up/down mapped to the jog controller but it's annoying on Windows because ctrl-l/r moves the cursor if you're sitting in a text box (my solution is to hit "alt" changing the focus to the menu bar). I really do like the idea of having dedicated jog increments, though. I'd just make a little macro pad with a Teensy2 controller, so you can use the QMK keyboard firmware unmodified. (It's a little cheaper, too: www.pjrc.com/store/teensy.html if you're curious. I've made more keyboards with my CNC than anything else, at this point)

I'll have to check when I get home, but its fairly recent nightly build.
I am assuming since you run in mm that's why you havn't noticed this. Ill do more testing and document what I find.
I am also guessing that UGS is just relaying what is coming from GRBL, so it may be a GRBL "feature", and not so much UGS.
Thanks,
Allen
