The Play Synchronized Path dialog box contains tool and operation lists, and gouge and collision reports. You can play, replay, or control the speed of the simulation using this dialog box.
• File—Save files on your local disk drive.
◦ Save CL—Save the cutter location file in the .cl format.
◦ Save Report—Save all reports as one file in the .txt format.
• View—Enable settings to generate reports.

◦ Stop at Gouge—Click to stop the simulation on the first occurrence of a gouge. If you play the simulation again, it stops on the second occurrence of a gouge. You can repeatedly play the simulation to report all gouges in the Gouge Report box.
• CL Data—Display CL steps with line numbers.
◦ Heads—For each head, display CL data for sequences corresponding to the head.
• Collision Report—Display a list about all collisions occurred. Double-click any collision occurrence in the list to go to the respective cutter location.
• Gouge Report—Display the report about all gouges occurred. Double-click any gouge occurrence in the list to go to the respective cutter location.
