Editing & simulation
Can CIMCO Edit estimate CNC runtime and help spot program errors without a full simulation?

Direct answer
Yes. Toolpath Statistics reports machining time and toolpath length by tool, while its graph plots axis position over time so unusual spikes, a missing return move, or a Z move that is too deep can stand out. Set the rapid speed to the machine's actual traverse rate and include a realistic fixed tool-change time before using the estimate for scheduling.
Practical checkpoint
Run the statistics on every new program, inspect unexpected axis extremes, and compare the first several estimates with actual machine time so the rapid and tool-change assumptions can be calibrated.
