About Ejector Pins
Use an ejector pin to push the cold plastic part out of the cavity insert when the mold base is opened.
The placement of the ejector pins can be specified using datum points in the reference model.
If no reference model exists, the placement references for ejector pins can be defined in the core model of the assembly.
Click EMX Components > Ejector Pin and click one of the following commands:
Ejector Pin Designer—Define Ejector Pins dynamically
Ejector Pin—Defines a new ejector pin.
Update Existing Ejector Pins—Updates existing ejector pins in case reference distance has changed.
Delete all Ejector Pins—Deletes all ejector pins in the current assembly.
Trim Ejector Pin Heads—Trims ejector pin heads against each other.
Identify ejector pin owner models —Prepares the selected parts for predefining ejectors with layout curve
Add Ejector Bores—Checks and adds the cutouts for every assembled ejector pin if these are not present.
In Drawing Mode Only: Add drawing symbols—Places drawing symbols on all ejector pin cutouts in the drawing model. Add notes to the drawing to see the ejector ID.

You can use Trim to quilt/refmodel on all ejector pin types. To define the quilts, click EMX Part Mode > Preparation > Identify trim faces or EMX Assembly > Preparation > Identify trim faces.
If a trim surface is defined then uses the Solidify feature to create the trimmed surface.
If no trim surface is defined then trims the ejector pin against the solid using the Mold Design Trim to Geometry.
When you use an ejector pin as a core pin, you must assemble a different hole type to the extracts. Select these hole types from a list of fixed rotation hole types.
You can use Add engraved text next to ejector head trigger the creation of the relation controlled text features.
This variable option is disabled by default. The parameter name in the configuration option PARAM_EJP_ENGRAVED_TEXT must be set up correctly to enable the check box.
The engraved text features will be assembled twice:
Onto the head surface of the ejector pin.
Right next to the cutout UDF in the ejector retainer plate.
The final position of the text features can later be adopted manually.
The selected text height is based on the diameter of the selected ejector pin. Valid text heights can be defined in the new configuration file engraved_text_heights.cfg.
