Please Bring Back the Old Simulation Options

I liked having the clock button to speed through some parts of a toolpath simulation. all the new options seem to move a lot slower.

Assuming you mean Feed rate, Points and distance modes, the old options are still about, they are just a bit more hidden.

They're under

Tools->Options->Simulation->Simulation Mode.

Hi Ken,

thanks for responding to my post. I've made a video of what I'm talking about. First I'll show 2017, then 2016. i am holding the arrow key throughout to advance the simulation. I've tried the other options you said, but it seems the same to me

bump.

No response on this? Does this drive anyone else crazy or is it just me?

I can replicate this.

I'll see if I can work and why and speed things back up.

In the meantime you can try Ctrl+right arrow to move by 5 points which seems to be going at a fair speed.

thanks for looking into this Ken. ctrl+arrow is a good help in the meantime.
