    Beta Run time estimate

    Hi Scott,
    Just took a known running job (about 45mins) and put it through the run time estimator. It came out at 48mins, which is spot on.
    We then generated a report, and we noticed 2 x things.
    1. The toolchange time (bottom of page) is 4 secs (where we set it to 4.5 - picky I know!)
    2. Whats with the rapid time column? It seems waaaay out, although the estimation totals (at the bottom of the page) seem spot on.

    Cheers,
    Terry

    Terry,

    I thought I had allowed for fractional tool change times, I'll check this again.

    Can you show me an example of the rapid time that seems off? Email me the program too, if you can.

    Thanks,
    Scott
