Display relative to WCS?

Up till X8 there was a button "Display relative to WCS" on the Planes page of a tool path. I used that to check myself frequently, especially when doing 4/5 axis work. Is there an easy way to check if tool plane origins are matching WCS in X9? 

Two situations brought it to mind: A fellow worker selected an incorrect TP for a tool path and some cuts were 4" from where they should have been. And on a kind of big part I misplaced an origin by .05" and caused some problems. Both parts backplot and verify correctly in MasterCam but were caught by Vericut. Both parts the mistake would have been immediately apparent by checking the Plans settings page, neither mistake was obvious from using the Planes Manager.
