As you use STEP-NC Machine to display toolpaths and the tool movements through them, you can see the coordinates, axis direction, feedrate and spindle speed of the tool at any moment in time with the Tool Position window.

Bring up the Tool Position window by clicking the Position tool button or selecting the View | Tool Position menu entry. The window shows the tool coordinates, axis direction, feedrate and spindle speed of the tool at the current toolpath location.

The X/Y/Z fields show the tool position. The I/J/K fields show the tool axis direction. The Feed shows the feedrate at that point, taking into account any adjustment percentage given for that location in the toolpath, while Base gives the base feedrate for the entire toolpath. The RPM value gives the spindle speed. Finally, Dist gives the parametric position within the current toolpath.

If you want to change position, clicking the Move Tool button enters toolpath picking mode. Click on a toolpath and the tool should immediately move to the new location. You can also move forward and backwards along the current toolpath using the slider at the bottom of the Tool Position window.

If your program has workplans with setup placements on them, you can use the Apply Setup Transform checkbox to switch the position and tool axis values between their values in workpiece coordinates and their values in the transformed setup orientation. If your program does not have any setup placements, this checkbox has no effect.
