Apologies, I'm revisiting Aspire after a year's absence. Can someone tell me what the little green box (see "Ledge" in snip above) indicates?
Thanks

Re: in toolpaths listing what does the little green box indicate?
That would the colour that you assigned to that particular toolpath (green in your case), and what colour it will display as. It is only for visualization purposes I believe, and can help simulate a paint inlay, or what colour you may paint the edge of a plaque, for example.
I use it to highlight v-carved text, for example, as it can be hard to see otherwise.

It is really handy when V carving text into a depression to see if the width of your bit will nick your 3d shape. 60 degree bit no nicking
Same text 120 degree bit look red edge
