Displaying paths from the tool tip might be great for 2D pocketing and profiles, but that's about it. Check out the post just below this one called "toolpath showing center of the cutter" for a discussion on this topic. I attached a couple of illustrations to show the problem with displaying from the tool tip when doing 3D work.
You do realize the post gives the option to output code from either, correct?
I should add, that this "strange behaviour" is the way many programs do it, but there are some others that give the user the option. Personally, I've been using WorkNC for 17 years so this behaviour seems right to me!
