Ready to schedule
The machine is saved, ready to book jobs onto and to factor into the lead-time calculator. You can also attach CAD files for its fixtures, tooling or the machine model.
Check what you saved
After Add machine, find it by name in Machines, open it and check the axes, dimensions and running cost. Keep Active selected if it should appear in the scheduling picker. If you still see an empty list, check the form for an error explaining what needs fixing. Check for the saved machine before leaving.
