there are a couple of options you can adjust. when you customize the ribbon and go to options and set to large icons (already mentioned) and now there is a setting in File/configuration/screen....scale display gnomons and text....
Not sure if this is what you need, but I use create/curve/flowline curve and set it to 'number'. if you set the number to 3 it will give you the centre line....
it should post out the the work offset for each tool....try downloading the latest version here...

Try switch it to '3 axis' in the rotary axis control...
Use 3-axis to rotate the part while the tool axis stays parallel to the axis of rotation. Also called polar conversion, this replaces linear motion in X, Y, or Z with rotary motion. For example, if this is enabled about the Y axis, instead of the tool moving linearly in Y, the part will rotate to the Y-axis position. This is typically used to machine a toolpath on a face of a part.
If you set your path to 'enter at middle of first wall' it wont do the weird move in the corner. (if thats the problem you are talking about?)
The backplot flip can be fixed by going into the backplot options and turning off 'simulate rotary axis'
