About Creating the Cavity Insert Assembly Cutouts
Use the Cavity Cutout dialog box to define cavity plate cutouts.
1. Click > . The Cavity Cutouts dialog box opens.
The insert assembly outline dimensions automatically appear in the Cavity Size boxes and preview window.
The preview orientation is the same as that in the Mold Base Definition dialog box preview. Correct initial data appears only if the cavity insert assembly was assembled to the cavity layout pattern. When the values are changed, the old values continue to appear until the insert assembly outline is remeasured in the Classify dialog box.
Under Cavity Size, the outline of the insert assembly is displayed in the preview window. If the outline does not fit your requirements, you can edit the size of the insert assembly from the X, Y, and Z boxes.
2. Select cutout definitions:
◦ No cutout — Removes existing cavity insert cuts.
◦ One rectangular cavity cutout — Enter values for the
x- or
y- offset, radii or corner mouse ears, or both.
◦ Counterbore — One cutout is created for each cavity insert assembly individually.
◦ Rectangular cutout pattern — One cutout is created for each cavity insert assembly individually.
| A rectangular cutout can have radii or corner mouse ears. |
◦ Workpiece outline cutout — Creates a solid surface copy in all workpiece components. The quilts are used to create Cut by Quilt features in models that interfere with the quilts.
3. Click
