Abstract
A method for simulating one of a plurality of web-up configurations for a press line in order to provide web length information associated with the selected web-up configuration (32) to a product tracking system (16). The method includes providing a drawing of a press line on a touch screen (24) and pulling a virtual web through the drawing to illustrate a selected web-up configuration (32).
