Need Help!- V23 run time estimate?

[cut more]

I just upgraded to v23 pro from V21,

Is there a way in V23 to do a run-time estimate? i can't seem to find it if there is.

thanks for any help,

post your code and run a simulation in predator editor.Make sure your post has a predator header .


O6270
(BEGIN PREDATOR NC HEADER)
(MACH_FILE=3AXVMILL.MCH)
(MTOOL T1 S1 D4. H5. DIAM_OFFSET 1 = 2.)
(MTOOL T2 S1 D.5 H5. DIAM_OFFSET 2 = .25)
(MTOOL T3 S1 D.75 H5. DIAM_OFFSET 3 = .375)
(MTOOL T4 S1 D.318 H5. DIAM_OFFSET 4 = .159)
(MTOOL T5 S1 D.375 H5. DIAM_OFFSET 5 = .1875)
(MTOOL T6 S1 D.406 H5. DIAM_OFFSET 6 = .203)
(MTOOL T7 S1 D.375 H5. DIAM_OFFSET 7 = .1875)
(SBOX X-.3 Y-1.75 Z-1. L7.66 W1.75 H1.)
(END PREDATOR NC HEADER)

1234567,
thanks for the reply,
maybe I missed something or maybe I worded my question poorly,
I am looking to see if there is a way to estimate the machining time with V23.

I can post, I can simulate, but I can't see anywhere that gives me the time for the machining.

Thanks,

look at bottom right side of uoyr screen there should be a cycle time

Thanks for the screen shot,
It doesn't look like I have the ability to backplot under the predator editor. i looked under the lisence menu and there are no checks there.
I will have to call bobcad to check that out I guess.

Thanks,
