    Hello - Is there a way to activate the Real Time Job Position Indicator? Seems like my W10 PC is not displaying that info anymore.
    Openbuild Version 1.0.292

    Is it not disabled under Application Diagnostics menu on the Troubleshooting tab?

    Hi Peter - The cone is not the issue. The main problem is missing all the coordinates that used to be displayed when the cone is moving along the work piece.

    That wasnt position, that was gcode line data from the parser. New lightweight 3D viewer no longer bothers with that, the DROs show current position. The Cone is the Realtime position indicator. Where the DRO reports the machine is, is drawn as the cone position during a job run.

    By not parsing in "extra" data allows the 3D viewer to handle files with millions of lines on machines with less RAM. Good for everyone

    Ok I see. I would like to add my 2 cents if you don't mind. The info that was provided did my G Code editing much faster. Knowing which line needed to be fix was pretty handy. Perhaps that can be added in futures release as a user options. Anyhow, Thank you for quick response.

    Noted, thanks. Most ordinary people do not hand-edit gcode much. Using CAM and proper Posts instead. For the greater good, being able to load 3D carvings at all is much more widely used
