Yes, elapsed time is indeed there. When a job is finished, if you happen to move the machine with arrows/MPG, the elapsed time is cleared, so remember to check it beforehand. I set up log file creation in my postp, so If needed, I can check to see what the time was and when it was last ran.

I seldom if ever use RTG, just don't like it. Now if it had something like this for a toolpath display, I'd use it daily...https://centroidcncforum.com/viewtopic. ... 315#p59315 That happens to be UCCNC's toolpath display.

When the job is running on my router with 4.82 and I'm looking at the cutting graph page there is no timer running, up or down. When I press F8 "g-code" and switch to g code screen view there is an elapsed timer counting up. When I press F8 "graph" again to go back to the graph screen there is no timer anywhere. Am I missing something? :?:

- when running a job, the g code Job actual run time is in the G code view in the upper right. just below the part counters.

- G code job time estimation is in the Graph screen (not in the run time graphics screen (RTG).).

- will add percentage / count down feature at some point. when we redo the RTG screen that would be a good time to add these types of features.

This is for sure better than to run a timer app :D
