Mold Rules can be used to automate the Add Mold Component process. MoldDesign will automatically select the location and the size of components that contain a suitable rule.
For example, when adding ejectors by the Add Mold Component, the bottom face of the Ejectors Plate will be automatically selected as the required face. In the same way when adding support pillars they will automatically be located between the clamping plate and the support plate at the right length.
This means that if the component you are adding has a mold rule applied to it, part of the Add Mold Component process may be completed automatically. Use the Show Rules button to view the rule description and decide whether it is relevant to your needs. If you don't want to use the rule, uncheck the Use Rule check box.
If no rules apply to the component you are adding, the Show Rules button is grayed out.
Note: Each mold configuration has its own rules file.
Make sure that the appropriate rules file is defined in the Preferences.
Rules types:
Location Rule: Automatic selection of the required face.
Size / Equation Rule: Automatic selection of the required component size.
If you want to create a new rule or to change an existing rule use the Mold Rule function.
