Toolpath display with Tool contact point

How to display toolpath which traces Tool contact point instead of Tool tip?

When I use Lolipop or ball end mill, I am not really sure whether the tool runs on the boundary edges or not and some linking motions are really confusing. When I backplot it, I understand those moves happens to keep the tool in contact. If we can change the toolpath display from Tooltip to Tool contact point, then I hope it will be easy to understand especially when we use Lolipop end mills.

Thank you!
