      <p class="para_topic">Analyze Tool Path provides options to allow you to analyze the existing tool path and the areas of the tool path that have been edited. You can analyze a GOTO point or a range tool motions in the tool path. Choose the part of the tool path that you want analyzed before choosing an analyze option.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Gouge Check</div>
      <p class="para_division">Gouge Check allows you to go through the tool path and check that the tool path does not gouge the Part geometry. This is especially helpful in analyzing whether any newly edited cutting passes or traversal moves will gouge the part. This option also checks that the tool path does not gouge the Check geometry if Check geometry has been defined.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Check for Tool Holder Collisions</div>
      <p class="para_division">This option activates additional collision checking that includes the tool holder.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Perform Gouge Check</div>
      <p class="para_division">Perform Gouge Check analyzes the section of the tool path that you have selected.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Show Gouging Motions</div>
      <p class="para_division">Show Gouging Motions allows you to examine where the tool path has gouged the part. If gouging is found during the tool path analysis, the following options will become available:</p>
      <p class="para_division">All will show the tool at start gouge and end gouge locations where the tool gouges the part. It will also display the approximate gouge location in the default gouge color.</p>
      <p class="para_division">Previous allows you to move the cutter from the current gouge position to the one previous to it.</p>
      <p class="para_division">Next allows you to move the cutter from the current gouge position to the next gouge position.</p>
