Library Features

Use the Library Features screen in the Costing Template Editor to define the cost of library features, punch features, and forming tools in the part.

To display this screen:

  • In the Costing Template Editor, click Library Features.

    The Library Features screen is only available after you enter information in the Material and Thickness screens.

All library features are priced per stroke.

You can copy and paste numerical data in the Costing Template Editor.
Library Feature Name Sets the name of the library feature.
Setup Cost Sets a setup cost per lot for the library feature. When Costing recognizes a Library Feature Name, this Setup Cost is added to the Setup FM_folder.gif folder in the CostingManager and it is divided by the lot size to get the setup cost per part.
Setup Cost Distribution Sets how to distribute the Setup Cost:

Divided Over Total Quantity

Setup cost is divided by the total number of parts (Setup cost per part = Setup cost / Total number of parts). For example, if the setup cost is 100 and the total number of parts is 100, then the setup cost per part is 1.

Divided Over Lot Size

Setup cost is divided by the lot size (Setup cost per part = Setup cost / Lot size). For example, if the setup cost is 100 and the lot size is 10, then the setup cost per part is 10.

Applied Once Per Part

Setup cost is applied per part (Setup cost per part = Setup cost). For example, if the setup cost is 100 then the setup cost per part is 100.
