Mold Model Origin and Cavity Layout Origin
In a cavity layout operation, you must designate the origins of two coordinate systems, one for the mold model and one for the cavity layout. These coordinate systems allow you to place the cavity subassemblies within the top-level assembly.
The mold model origin defines the orientation of the cavity subassemblies within the layout. The default origin is the first coordinate system in the mold model.
The cavity layout origin defines the general location of the cavity layout in the top-level assembly. You can redefine the location of the entire layout by redefining this coordinate system.
Use the configuration file option mold_layout_origin_name to set a specified coordinate system as the default for the cavity layout origin.
