Cavity insert. The
Create Mold Component or the
Create Die Component dialog box opens.
2. Click the name of the mold volume or die block to extract and click OK.
3. The system fills the designated volume with solid material. The component (die block) appears in white. The name of the resulting part is the same as the name of the volume. This name appears in the Model Tree. If a part with this name already exists in active memory, the system prompts you to select another name for the component.
An extracted component or die block retains associativity with the parent volume; if the volume is modified, the component or die block is updated when the mold model is regenerated.
To display the dimensions of an extracted component or die block click Query Sel to select geometry that references the reference model.
|  In the Advanced section, you can change the name for mold components and browse a start part for the extracted parts. Select the Copy associated drawings check box to save the drawing along with the extracted parts. |
