So the new Machining Time action is interesting. But I think it has some shortcomings:

 

1: It's way faster to just look at the right/bottom corner of my screen than clicking a button that takes up extra space in my toolbar.

 

2: Same icon getting smaller bug as Blend:

3A: Opening the Machining Time dialogue without first selecting a toolpath is pretty pointless?

 

3B: With the Machining Time dialogue open I think it would make sense to have the ability to deselect/select other/more operations with the dialogue still open. If I'm analysing 3 operations but then only want to see how long 1 takes, I need to close the dialogue, select the operation, then open the dialogue back up. Then when I'm done close it.

 

4: I think in the future it would be cool to tell it how long a program took to complete in the real world and after enough data Fusion can compare things to provide more accurate times. Probably too complex to be worth the most likely still (in many cases) inaccurate times though.

 

5: Yes, thank you. I have indeed selected 3 operations:

Clicking on a single operation shows the time for that operation in the corner, Clicking on the setup will show time for all operations in that setup. If you only want to select certain operations, you can highlight them and then either right-click to bring up menu and click "machining time" or click the time icon in the toolbar. Not sure why Fusion doesn't calculate and show the time in the corner for only a few selected ops...
