I've been working on setting up my costing templates for both Sheet Metal and Machining. I recently finished my Sheet Metal templates and SW now calculates part costs within 5% of my other costing software (built into our CNC software). So I've been happy so far with Sheet Metal costing. Machining Costing has proven more difficult. I've set up and tested my template (modified version of the default english standard units template in SW) but something is not adding up, literally.
Please see the attached screen shot and look at the tool tip on Cut Path 1. The values to the right of the equation are correct; cut path length, cut time modifier, and labor. The calculated value is incorrect. Cut Path 1 cost should be less than \$1 according to my template, SW calculates over \$420. Has anyone else seen this? I have confirmed my units both in my part file and in my costing templates. I have a call into my VAR on this but thought I'd post it here as well.
