Information

This feature allows you to find out how much time you need to process selected objects on plotter/cutter (or even CNC) .
Another words - it calculates machine time

This function has two window types: compact, here you can see only result time and can calculate cost.

And extended type: here you can specify coefficients to get better result and also you can see preview.
On preview image you can see where cutter will work slower or faster: dark shapes slower, lighter - faster.

Time calculator can show good result for Roland cutters (SPEED = 40sm/s NORMAL), but using coefficients you can get good result for most cutters.
