Tool path viewer question?

Hi Centroid, New user here. I have been bench testing my new Acorn board. So far everything has been going really well. After sending the board some Gcode, I was watching the toolpath viewer. Why can't I view the toolpath in 3d/ isometric view. I have been using Mach for quite awhile so this is how I always view the toolpath. Been reading everything in the manual. I can rotate the image using the graph selection. But when I hit run it goes back to a top down viewport. any tips or ideas? Can this board even do this?

Yep, that just the way it is, for now. An update to this part of the software is something I and others have requested for a while now, and hopefully it's coming soon. Because of the way the RTG (real time graphics) are currently displayed is why I never use it and just disable it. Along with the 3D view and better progress indication, it also needs to have scrolling code alongside. Mach3's viewer was ok, but the way UCCNC did it is better.

yep, we are combining g code backplot with RTG, and have a working alpha build that we are testing with now. to be released with v5.30.0
