To Use Open theTool
1. Click PDX Tools > Open theTool. The Analysis dialog box opens.
2. Select a tab:
Open—Opens the tool. Enter values for the Stroke (tool)opening height and the Stroke (guide package) height.
Rotate—Rotates the tool. Choose a rotation axis, and then set the offset value and angle of rotation.
Simulate—Simulates the opening process. Enter values for the Stroke (tool) opening height, the Stroke (guide package) height and a value for the Step Width step increment. Click Simulate to start.
Models—Classify models by group. Select the models from the dialog box or use the search tool . Click for the top group, for the guiding group, and for base group.
3. To ensure correct movement, label all the parts in a model. By default, parts are labeled according to their center of gravity, as follows:
Top group—All parts that are static relative to the top plate
Hold down group—All moving parts
Base group—All parts that are static relative to the bottom plate
* 
To label a component, you must set the Creo Parametric part-level PDX_GROUP_LEVEL string parameter to TOP, GUIDE, or BASE.
