  3. In the Active field, specify if the machine is available for the calculation of parts and their machining costing24 (optional).
  4. In the Hourly rate field, specify a value for the price of how much using the machine for an hour should cost, e.g. € 90.00 (optional).
  5. In the fields Setup time, Cutting parameters, Auxiliary time and Programming times, specify the cost factors using the sliders .
    Note: For the calculation of parts, you can also use the sliders to select from five or nine levels to indicate the tendency for the Setup time, Cutting parameters, Auxiliary time and Programming times. The positions of the sliders are assigned to cost factors.
    Note: Additionally, you can set up global cost factors for the calculation of a part. When calculating the costs of a part, global and specific to machines are multiplied and used to calculate the costs of a part. See: Sliders for cost factors
