To Define a Cavity Insert Assembly Layout
Use the Cavity dialog box to load cavity insert assemblies and to define cavity insert pattern.
1. Click > . The Cavity dialog box opens.
2. Select the
Subassembly from the list of EMX subassemblies as the target assembly for the cavity insert assemblies.
| You can assemble a different cavity insert assembly to two or more different subassemblies. |
3. Click
to load the cavity insert assembly. The loaded insert assembly is listed under
Insert Assemblies. The current name and the placement coordinate system appear.
4. Double-click the cell in the column CSYS to select a different placement coordinates system. The selected cavity insert assembly opens in the graphics window.
5. Select a Cavity Pattern type:
◦ 
Single Cavity Pattern
◦ 
Rectangle Cavity Pattern
◦ 
Round Cavity Pattern
◦ 
Star Cavity Pattern
Specify the pattern data as follows:
◦ Z angle and offset along x-axis and y-axis from the mold base origin
◦ Quantity along the X axis and Y axis from the mold base origin.
◦ Pattern size along the X axis and Y axis from the mold base origin.
| The Pattern Size does not appear for Single type of cavity pattern. |
◦ Pattern diameter for circular pattern shapes.
6. Select the
Automatically Recalculate check box to automatically recalculate the pattern after changing parameters, or click
to manually recalculate the pattern.
7. Double-click a cell to change a value in the pattern table.
or
indicates visibility status.
8. To assemble the previously loaded cavity insert assembly models to the cavity pattern coordinate system, double-click the cell in column Assembly from the table of all cavity pattern members.
Select the cavity insert assembly from the option-menu by name.
9. Check the currently defined pattern type, size, and the assembled cavity Insert assembly using
Preview.
The Cavity Pattern and the assembled cavity insert assemblies appear in a 3D preview.
10. If the a cavity insert assembly is assembled, you can click
Pattern first Insert Assembly to create a pattern of the first insert assembly on all pattern members.
11. Click OK to close the dialog box. All changes to the cavity pattern layout are applied
12. Click Cancel to discard the previewed changes. The previous cavity layout is restored.
