Graphical display of setup sheet time calculations

[rsalasidis]

Maybe this has been suggested before

I would like the setup sheet output to also give a graphical representation of the operation and the time to complete.

This would make it easier to view where the most time is being spend, and which operations to try to optimize first

Using the excel setup sheet this shouldn't be too hard.

there you could excel make the graph for you of the info you put in.

I made this for you check it out here: http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/hsm-support-forum/pie-chart-of-operation-machining-time-in-excel-setup...

I would add the using a setup sheet is the work around you can use to solve the true problem.

We should have a better way, in product, to visualize what operations are consuming the most time.

If you agree, I will adjust the idea to reflect this.

I would prefer a check on the setup sheet preferences - that lets the user choose between the current output format, and an output format that has a graphical representation in addition (or one that shows the current output format + the graphics if you do not wish to add the preference parameter).

I think the graphical representation is easier to quickly scan and get an idea of what needs to be optimized first.

Archiving for now - this would be best solved with the excel setup sheet.
