Mold Project Setup Wizard

This wizard assists you in setting up a new Mold Project by prompting you to define:
- the Assembly name and Location
- the Folder name.
- the Layout Part name
An Assembly document is then opened, with the Assembly Name displayed in the assembly tree on the left of the screen and the Parting Guide on the right side of the screen.

Notes:

• The Parting Guide is displayed initially, to start with the Parting process, however a Switch to MoldDesign option enables you to hide the Parting Guide and display the MoldDesign Guide. (A Switch to Parting option, in the MoldDesign Guide, enables you to do the opposite).

• A MoldDesign assembly is a regular Cimatron E assembly, with all of its available tools.

General Interaction

The Mold Project Setup Wizard dialog is displayed:

1. Define the Cimatron E Assembly name and, if required, a Folder name and/or a Layout Part.

1. Assembly Name: define the assembly name for the new document.
   When you have named the assembly, you will be able to define the location of the assembly by using the browser icon . If no location has been defined, the last used location is the default.
   If required, you can now press the OK button to continue to the next stage. (A Layout Part must be defined at some stage, either now in the Mold Project Setup Wizard, or in the next step in the mold project).

2. The Folder Name and Layout Part are optional at this stage.
   If you check the Create a new folder box, and/or the Create New Part box, default Folder and Layout Part names are displayed. These names are automatically created, based on the Name Generator fields defined in the MoldDesign Preferences.
   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. This is a preliminary layout which can be edited in later phases of the mold creation process. The layout parts supplied by Cimatron are placed in folder C:\Cimatron\CimatronE\Data\dat\Molddata\Layout-parts in the Inch and MM folders.

2. Set the units of measurement for the new assembly. The units will be those of the active part, or are defined in the Preferences if an active part was not selected.

3. Click the Preferences  button to change the MoldDesign Preferences, if required.

4. Click the appropriate confirmation button:

Cancel and exit the dialog.
OK; accept the data in the dialog and the following actions occur:

1. If you have not defined a location for the assembly by using the browser icon , the Cimatron E Explorer is displayed. Select a folder into which all the assembly files, for this project, will be created

2. The assembly document is opened with the Assembly Name displayed in the Assembly Tree on the left of the screen. An additional sub-assembly, <Assembly Name>_Parting, is created in the Assembly Tree.

3. The Parting Guide is displayed on the right of the screen.
   The Parting Guide is displayed initially, to start with the Parting process, however a Switch to MoldDesign option enables you to hide the Parting Guide and display the MoldDesign Guide. (A Switch to Parting option, in the MoldDesign Guide, enables you to do the opposite).
