In a previous existence I used a cnc machine with software called ‘Axis’, if I remember correctly.
One great detail of this was that, as the work was carried out, the screen showed the progress of the cutting head along its path by changing the color of the planned path.
Would it be possible to develop this facility in the glowforge software ?

Hi John! Haven’t seen you around in a while. 
Since they don’t monitor the forum anymore you should email support your idea.
They used to have a similar feature when the machine was introduced, but they removed it. It wasn’t real-time, however, it just gave a preview of the cutting path. There is no communication b/w the machine and the cloud once a job is started, except for errors and if you pause the job. As stated, use the contact form to send your request, but I wouldn’t hold out much hope.
don’t hold your breath.
Sent off, but not holding breath !

Yeah, the items that have come from the Hopper are few compared to requests.
I think I remember when it was removed and the reason was because it caused a massive performance issue in the app. I would doubt it is coming back.
Yeah the stated reason was performance.
There’s probably a way to do it that isn’t resource intensive but like everyone says I wouldn’t hold out for it.
I liked this too! As I recall, it was at the intersection of:
But I’ll put it in the hopper as something to consider for the future!
