The Toolpath and operations options include additional features to show (parts of) the toolpath.
Display level
This is an option that can be used when teaching and simulating the toolpath. By default the program content is displayed. But one can switch to set the focus of display on operation groups of the program, the operations or on the individual toolpath elements. Displaying with focus on one of these sub levels of the program activates a slider in the filter interface. With the slider, the number of following elements (operation or operation groups) in both directions, as seen from the current element, are displayed. The other elements are hidden.
The slider corresponds with the number of elements along the toolpath. At the most left position there will be one following element shown. The slider at its most right position shows all the toolpath elements.

Restrict to
This is an additional option to restrict the toolpath display to certain elements of the toolpath. In the drop down selector the restriction option can be picked and set.

| All toolpath elements | Approach, first/last process, retract |

With the option one can pick from the drop down selector which axes of the toolpath element are being displayed..
