There is a "reload" button next to the toolpath viewer.

Was wondering if that's what that button did
Or was there just incase you edited the file and wanted to reload the file .

Thank you for clarification

You can see how reload and regen can have different meaning to folks

The reload button reloads the currently loaded file.
The naming "regen" is wrong/missleading in Mach3, because it actually reloads the file just like what the reload button does in the UCCNC.
When you editing the loaded g-code file with the UCCNC file edit function and changing anything in it's content then the UCCNC automatically reloads the file when you finish the editing.
