The active layer is set to 'Holder Graphic' and the colour to white. These are the default settings for holders and should not be changed. In particular, the layer setting is used to identify holder graphics and must not be altered.
Use geometry construction techniques (or a 5mm
grid) to create the desired holder profile. Note that this shape will
be revolved about its centre line and it is only necessary to draw the
right-hand side.

Graphics toolbar to save the data and return to the ToolStore.
When creating holders for production use it will be necessary
to accurately follow the shapes and dimensions of the tooling in use.
It is suggested that holder graphics should be constructed so that the
holder CPL lies on the gauge line.
