Coordinate system
Click Mold Base and then, in the Setup group, click Coord System. The Coordinate System dialog box opens.
The coordinate system is defined by 3 parameters:
Origin: Define the origin of the mold coordinate system. The origin is the center in the plane between the mobile and the static side of the mold.
Normal: defines the ejection direction of the mold.
U Dir: defines the length direction of the mold.
The colors of the coordinate system feedback refer to the following directions: normal, u dir - the length direction and the width direction.
We can translate the origin using the following:
DU: Translation in the mold U (length) direction.
DV: Translation in the mold V (width) direction.
DW: Translation in the mold W (normal) direction.
