After clicking Run, the ‘Export’ tab can be used to export a file that contains details of the cycle time estimations, including an user-adjusted quantity for each part.
For an example of how to use the Export tab, see Using the Cycle Time Estimator: an Example.
The following table lists details of all the features contained within the ‘Export’ tab, as shown in the screenshot to the right.
Column | Description |
|---|---|
Document (File selector checkbox) | Click the checkbox to the left of the part file to indicate that its cycle time estimation is to be exported. Check the top box to select all of the part files. |
Document (Part file name) | The name of the part file. |
Quantity | The quantity of the associated part that is to be exported (this will multiply the ‘total cycle time’). You decide the quantity. |
Total cycle time | The estimated cycle time (as shown in the Cycle Time Estimates tab) multiplied by the ‘Quantity'. |
Export | Click to create the Export file (see below). |
Export
Before clicking Export, at least one Fusion part file must be checked (see ‘File selector checkbox’, above)
Once clicked, the Export button opens a Windows ‘save’ dialog that prompts you for the name and location for the exported CSV (comma-separated values) file.
The exported file can be opened in any suitable application, such as MS Excel, Google Sheets, or Notepad.
