    Is there a way to see the position cone of the bit prior to starting a job run?

    I use would like to use OpenBuilds instead of UGS, but an important part of my workflow is jogging the router to hold down clamps prior to running a job to make sure they are clear of the cutting path if it is a job with tight tolerances.

    For this to work I need to see the position cone relative to the cutting path preview before starting the job. It does fine after starting the job, but I really want the preview beforehand to make sure that the preview matches the physical world before I go crash into a clamp or realize I had the zero set wrong.

    Not at this time, but it is a fair request, please log a request at Build software better, together and we'll get a tickbox into the next release for you :)
