AS I mentioned in that other thread I ran a simulation on a piece of
G-code with over 358K lines of code. The simulation said it should take
18 hrs and 57 minutes. I set the alarm on my phone and let it run while
I chased down a battery for my bike, worked on another design, slept,
etc etc... I was there just before it was supposed to finish, and I had
to stand there twiddling ym thumbs for 7 hole minutes. Bogus man! Bogus.

LOL.

Actually, I think that was pretty darn good calculating considering that
it took a couple hours for the simulation to run.

Pretty good. I turn off lights in the garage, except for a small light
on the mill, and watch it from afar via a netcam. I call it "lights
out manufacturing".
