IIRC, someone on this forum told me that there is a way to show the shape of the toolbit while inspecting the gcode, so it appears on the screen when I click on a path segment.
IIRC again, there was an option somewhere to be set (working only with the new Tool Library, not with the legacy one).
I was running up and down on the forum, but I was unable to retrieve that post...

Re: How to show the toolbit shape?
Expand the tool controller in the tree. Toggle the visibility of the underlying toolbit. This will show the tool shape in the canvas.
Use the inspect tool to show the Path commands. Select a line and the tool shape will be positioned at the start point of that segment.
