Add a Layout part. This is a preliminary layout which can be edited in later phases of the mold creation process.

The Layout Part dialog is displayed:

You can either create a new layout part, or browse using the open document icon , to add one of your own layout parts or select one of the predefined layout parts supplied by Cimatron. These predefined parts (inch. and mm.) are available under the following folder: C:\Cimatron\CimatronE\Data\dat\Molddata\Layout-parts.

If you create a new layout part, set the units of measurement for the part.

Note: There will only be one recognized layout part per mold assembly.

 

Changes in the Tree structure after adding a Layout part

Once a layout part is defined the following occurs:

The Assembly tree before a layout part is added.

The Assembly Tree, showing the Parting sub-assembly and the Layout part. The latter is created when a Layout part is defined.
Note that, when created in the Wizard, the Layout part is activated.

The Parting Tree. This is created in the Parting tab when a Layout part is defined.
The Parting tab allows full control over the parting process, enabling you to activate various parts and control the hide/show status of different Parting sets.
