      <p class="para_topic">The Operation Navigator displays icons along with or instead of text in some of the columns. The Name column uses icons as well as text to communicate the name and status of the operation. The columns for Toolchange, Path, In Process Workpiece, and Gouge Check support icons instead of text. This allows you to make these columns much smaller and therefore display more columns in the Operation Navigator. &nbsp;If you use your mouse to hover over an icon, the system displays a tool tip which gives you a textual description of what the icon means. In the case of the Toolchange column this description includes the name of the upcoming tool. To get an idea of how this will be displayed please see the following image.</p>
