Tool Path Display

Tool Path Display

(OP)
I just updated from Catia PLM Express V5R20 to Catia PLM Express V5-6R2012 and when using the manufacturing licence for advanced machining the tool paths are always displayed. They used to be displayed only during tool path replay, but now they are constantly displayed as green lines around the model. I don't know if this is a new "feature" of the updated software, but it's especially annoying when a the tool paths from a roughing operation obscure geometries of the part. Is anyone familiar with this problem/feature? I looked in tools>options and din't find anything relevant, but perhaps I missed something.

Thank you.

RE: Tool Path Display

Look in Options--> Machining--> Operation--> DISPLAY TOOL PATH OF OPERATION IN CURRENT PART-OPERATION. Uncheck this box and it should not display your tool path.
