Inspect function in CAM environment should use WCS as reference

Inspect function in CAM environment should use WCS as reference.

Now it uses the model origin and that is not always your work origin.

When measuring in CAM you want to use de Work Origin (Machine Origin) to see the relative values.

Now you have to calculate much or use sketch points to refer to.

This, please. Checking where your 'zero' is when programing is essential. This problem is compounded when programing from the 'center' of parts where no geometry or feature exists. Yes, we can sketch points on our models, but come on. That's a work around. Not a solution.

 As an old surfcam user being able to review things from my WCS was very helpful. this would be a great addition to fusion. would as be nice to leave a toolpath on screen and measure it also.

This is such an obvious need I'm astonished it's not already in there. I need to know the center of a bored hole relative to the setup's origin, so I can go do some touchup on the mill. Now i have to make a fake drill op and post the gcode to see where the hole is.

I agree, this needs to be added!
