How do I turn off the display of the tool holder

I think I've done something that causes the tool holder to be displayed when I try to simulate.  This obscures my view of the process.  How can I turn it off?

You've done nothing wrong. All the sample tools have holders attached to it. There is an idea over on the HSM Ideastation to implement a toggle. I'm posting from my phone, so I don't have a link, sorry

That's strange, because I didn't have the holder until yesterday evening.
Prior to that, I only showed the tool.

If you're in CAM Simulation you can just change the display mode using the dropdown:

Now that I'm home, posting from an actual computer.

There was an update on the 19th. While it brought many good things, it did bring this new annoyance of toolholders on everything in the sample library. Prior to the 19th, there was no such widespread pairing of tools to holders. It was possible to do, yes, but not standard.

 

Here is a LINK to the HSM IdeaStation post

So, you have to copy the tools, and edit them and remove the ridiculously oversized tool holder?  I mean, here is an example with a 1/16" endmill, cutting a part:

If I got this right, this is about 6" inches across, HUGE, I guess some people have this massive of  a quick change tool holder, I've never seen one in a video, never heard of people using them...

 

But, yeah, off would be good, I'd kind of like to see the simulation, not the tool holder moving all over blocking everything unless I moved it around so I can see past it...  Some things just make me shake my head...  And say Really?

Now, if you are referring to the image that is displayed in the Tool Library, that annoyance still exists.
