      <p class="para_topic">The Tool Path Actions options provide tools for manipulating the tool paths within the CLSF. You may choose one of the following:</p>
      <table border="0">
         <tr>
            <td valign="top" align="left"><img align="left" src="../graphics/note.gif" alt="Note" title="Note"></td>
            <td valign="bottom" align="left" width="100%">
               <div class="para_note">
                  <p class="para_note_body"> The Blank, Unblank, and Replay options are not available if the operation contains NURBS.</p>
               </div>
            </td>
         </tr>
      </table>
      <div class="title_division">Blank</div>
      <p class="para_division">Blank temporarily erases a tool path from the display by inserting a PAINT/OFF command before the tool path statement and a PAINT/ON command after the END-OF-PATH statement.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Unblank</div>
      <p class="para_division">Unblank removes the PAINT/OFF and the PAINT/ON commands that bracket the blanked tool paths in the CLSF. You may select the tool path(s) you want to unblank.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Replay</div>
      <p class="para_division">Replay allows you to see a graphical representation of the currently selected tool paths. The system traces out the tool path(s) in the graphics window.</p>
      <table border="0">
         <tr>
            <td valign="top" align="left"><img align="left" src="../graphics/note.gif" alt="Note" title="Note"></td>
            <td valign="bottom" align="left" width="100%">
               <div class="para_note">
                  <p class="para_note_body"> Some commands in the CLSF (for example, INDEX) might cause the Replay (under Tool Path Actions) to fail. If this occurs, use Replay under CLSF Actions. Also be sure Preferences&gt;General CAM&gt;Refresh Before Each Path is OFF.</p>
               </div>
            </td>
         </tr>
      </table>
      <div class="title_division">List</div>
      <p class="para_division">List presents a textual representation of the CLSF. The CLSF is displayed in a Information Window. Blanked tool paths will be enclosed between the PAINT/OFF and the PAINT/ON commands. </p>
