preprint nozzle test, how do I get it?

I am new at printing with Simplify3D. I own a DaVinciPro 3in1, when I use the XYZ software there is always a preprint nozzle test drawing two lines at the edge of the bed.
Now I am printing with Simplify3D. There is no preprint nozzle test.
Is there a setting for this? Am I that noob that I missed that?
I would like to have this to see if my nozzle works and extrudes. As it is a closed cased machine it is very hard to monitor during the first few layers and the lines at the edge do help.

Thanks!

You could just add a skirt since that does the same thing. It primes the nozzle by drawing a ring around the part.

Otherwise, you can also edit your starting script to draw a line there if you prefer
