To Get Process Status and Tool Path Information
To view the current manufacturing information, click on the Tools tab. The Manufacturing Info dialog box opens. It has two tabulated pages: Status and Tool Path Info. Click the appropriate tab (Status or Tool Path Info) at the top of the Info Box to toggle between the pages.
The following items are listed in the Status page of the dialog box:

If you want to find out more about a particular item, click the appropriate button in the Info Box, and a corresponding Info window or subwindow will appear. The following information can be obtained by pressing the buttons in the Info Box:
Operation—The current operation data will be displayed in the Info window.
Workcell—The current workcell data will be displayed in the Info window.
Machine or NC Sequence coordinate system—Highlights on the screen.
NC sequence—The current NC sequence info will be displayed in the Info window.
Tool—The system displays the Tool Setup dialog box, which allows you to set up tooling.
The information in the Info Box updates as you develop the manufacturing process.
When you display the tool path, the appropriate information appears in the Tool Path Info section of the Info Box, such as the feedrate, the spindle speed, the current XYZ coordinates of the tool, the current IJK coordinates of the tool axis, and so on. These values update to match the tool’s location.
