To Trim a Catalog Component
You can select components to trim. Select Trim to Geom references, select a trim type, and enter an offset value using these steps:
1. On the
Mold Layout tab, click
Mold >
Catalog or on the
MOLD LAYOUT menu, click
Catalog. The
CATALOG menu appears.
2. Click Ejector Pin. The COMPONENT SET menu appears.
3. Click Trim To Geom and select a component from the set. The selected set is highlighted. The Trim Components dialog box opens.
4. For a variable set, select a component from the Set Members window to perform the operation.
5. Specify the type of object to use for trimming. Click Part, Quilt, or Plane.
6. Select a bounding object.
7. If you are trimming by a part or by a closed quilt, click Trim Type and select the type. You can trim by the first or the last intersecting surface.
8. If you want to trim with an offset from the bounding surface, type the offset value in the Offset field.
9. Click OK to finish.
If a trimming plane intersects components from an identical set at different heights (for example, if the trimming plane is inclined), you must redefine the set to Variable so you can trim each component correctly.
