Elements of the Stock Wizard

The elements in the Stock Wizard dialog are quite simple. There are graphics, text boxes, selection buttons and action buttons. Each are described on the following pages.

Dialog The interface for the Stock Wizard leads you through creating your custom stock very easily. The Stock Wizard is a single dialog box that walks you through four simple steps to define a custom stock with or without an initial hole.

Graphics The images provide a visual clue as to what your choices are in a dialog. The image will show the shape of the stock and the shape of the hole in the stock if there is one. Some examples are shown below.

Text Boxes Text boxes allow you to enter values that will define the stock and any holes in the stock. Select a text box and type in the proper value. All of the text boxes will be explained in the Using the Stock Wizard section.

Stock Buttons These are buttons you will see when choosing a stock shape and the shape of the hole in the stock. The first set of stock buttons you will see will decide the basic shape the stock. The choices are Cuboid and Cylinder.

This second set of stock buttons will define the shape of any existing hole in the stock. The hole may be Rectangular or Round. The stock shape does not matter. The choices are Rectangular or Round.
