Rapid collision with stock after trimming toolpath

I'm working on a project where the part is pretty thin, I've created a fixture that can hold both operations to create the part and I'm finishing the program to actually get the part machined. This is my first time creating a fixture and programming for one, so I made the mistake of putting the two pockets too close together. This makes the tool dig into the part on the left when it is exiting the part on the right occasionally. I fixed this by creating a sketch that keeps the tool away from the left part, then trimming the toolpath based on that sketch.

 

Now the problem is I have 3 spots where the tool rapids down into the part since the entry points were trimmed. My plan is to just change the G00s to G01s in the nc file after processing, but I wanted to know if there is a way to edit or change specific moves while inside Fusion360? Or is there an easier way to see what line of code you are on when simulating?

 

TL;DR - I trimmed my toolpath and now the tool rapids into my part. Can I manually change a rapid move to a feed move from fusion? Is there a way to see what line of code you are on while simulating?

I kind of solved the problem by just changing the G code to a feed move after processing, now there's a different problem though. After making some changes, Fusion will not post process my roughing operation (I assume) because of the warning on the roughing operation. So now I can't manually fix the problem because Fusion won't give me my full program, does anyone know if you can force the whole program to process? Or how to properly add an exclusion area for my roughing? I saw old Fusion tutorials that mentioned machining boundary or something similar, but that setting doesn't exist for me.

You'll probably have better luck posting in the Machining forum and attaching your file.
