Hi All
My question is simple. Is there any way to make SolidCAM perform time-lapse calculation? I just want to know how long a certain g-code program would take to execute from start to finish...
When I expand the "GCode"/"GCode All" sub-menu, there is this option "Generate with time" but it doesn't seem to do that.
This is all the info on that command in the SolidCAM Help:
"
- Generate with time
This command generates a temporary GCode file, which specifies the operation time in the job_time parameter. Calculating the GCode with the operation time is usually longer than calculating an ordinary GCode.
"
I'm a novice so that doesn't make any sense to me.
Also I can't seem to find anything on google about SolidCAM showing the execution time for the given G-Code program it has generated.
There are entry level CAM programs that can do that, it would be weird if SolidCAM can't?!
Anyway, thanks in advance!
