Path Optimizer

Do you guys ever use the path optimizer? Does it work well? Does it really save as much time as it claims?

I tried using it on some smaller programs I have and it crashes the computer every time so I haven't actually utilized it. However when it calculates the new path it claims something like 70% optimization. what does that 70% mean?

Is it worth using?

  • I once left on vacation and one of the operators "Optimized" one of my programs on accident and it reordered all my features to be "fast".

    Needless to say it broke the program and I had to rewrite it because he saved over the good file. (I could have had IT recover it but we have a 3rd party guy and it was faster to rewrite)

    I am not a huge fan of optimize path. I would rather run collision detection then go back and fix crashes case by case
