How to use an external program to calculate cutting times
Some distributors provide an external program (Saw simulator) to calculate the cutting times for patterns. This provides extra detail on saw cutting times as the simulation program is closely linked to the details of the saw operation.
- To work in this way set the Saw parameter (Speeds and times 1): Simulator
Use the list box to select the simulator. The simulator name is provided by the distributor and is stored in an external file in the User profile, for example, Holzmasimulator.ctl
- Extra information is available for the following summaries.
