To Add an Ejector Pin Set
You can add individual ejector pins or a set of ejector pins by selecting an ejector pin component from the catalog or from the ejector pins present in the session.
1. Perform one of these operations:
Click Mold > Catalog > Ejector Pin > Add Set.
Click Cast > Component > Catalog > Ejector Pin > Add Set.
In Mold Layout, click Mold > Catalog > Ejector Pin > Add Set.
The Define Set dialog box opens.
2. Select or create a datum point feature to locate the ejector pin set.
3. Click the set type: Identical or Variable.
4. If you select Variable, you can specify different settings for each ejector pin: the ejector pin type, base plane, and orientation plane. The Set Members table opens within the dialog box, listing all selected datum points. To add or change an ejector pin at each selected location, highlight a row in the table and continue with the procedure. As you define each pin, the table shows the selected settings.

A drawing shows the selected ejector pin with all required parameters. A table under the drawing lists all parameter values. After you have defined all parameters, specify the name for the ejector pin set.
