Bodies options
Allow you to:
- fully customize the names of drill holes, tap holes, pads and pockets (in accordance with the naming rules given below),
- structure receiving bodies (plates, for instance) that are dedicated to receiving these bodies
- include additional information in the end of the name of these bodies.
- associate bodies and their receiving bodies
-
To add the name of a body to the list, type it in the box beneath the Add/Remove bodies list.
-
Click in the list or hit return to add it.
-
Remove a name by selecting it in the list and hitting backspace.
-
Receiving bodies behave in the same way.
-
Associate an Add/Remove body to a Receiving body by clicking on an Add/Remove body, clicking on a Receiving body
and pressing Associate.
- When an Add/Remove body is selected for an association, all elements that begin with the same name will be selected. For instance, if you select MyPocket as Add/Remove body, the association will also include MyPocket1, MyPocketForPlate6, etc.
- An Add/Remove body can only be associated with a single Receiving body.
Add/Remove management
By default, from R16 and higher versions, bodies are assembled, e.g. if the Pocket Body contains a pad, the pad is added to your mold.
In versions prior to R16, a hole was created instead of a pad been added. If you need to revert to this behavior, clear the Assemble instead of Add/Remove check box. If you have created an assembly by mistake, undo the action, clear the check box and recreate the feature.
