Define Workpiece

Defining the workpiece is a prerequisite to generating the core and cavity.

Access:
	On the Core/Cavity tab, click Define Workpiece.

Workpiece Type	Specifies a rectangular or cylindrical workpiece from the drop-down menu.
Product Dimensions	X Shows the projected length of the product in the X direction. Y Shows the projected length of the product in the Y direction. Z Shows the projected length of the product in the Z direction.
Reference	Specifies a By Boundary Box or By References workpiece from the drop-down menu. By References enables selection of a Part CSYS, circular edge, endpoint, Work Point, or UCS in the graphics window. Checking Multiple references enables the selection arrows in the Workpiece Dimensions section.
Workpiece Dimensions	X X+ Specifies the distance between the YZ plane of the product range box and the rectangular workpiece in the positive X direction. X- Specifies the distance between the YZ plane of the product range box and the rectangular workpiece in the negative X direction. X_total Specifies the total length of the workpiece in the X direction. Y Y+ Specifies the distance between the XZ plane of the product range box and the rectangular workpiece in the positive Y direction. Y- Specifies the distance between the XZ plane of the product range box and the rectangular workpiece in the negative Y direction. Y_total Specifies the total length of the workpiece in the Y direction. Z Z+ Specifies the distance between the XY plane of the product range box and the rectangular workpiece in the positive Z direction. Z- Specifies the distance between the XY plane of the product range box and the rectangular workpiece in the negative Z direction. Z_total Specifies the total length of the workpiece in the Z direction. D Specifies the diameter of the cylinder workpiece in the XY section. Lock Controls the Unlock and Lock status.
More	The Extend dialog box supports your design so that it is foolproof. Chamfer Generates chamfers to implement a foolproof design. Fillet Generates fillets to implement a foolproof design. Select Corner Specifies a corner in which to design your foolproof design. Radius/Distance Specifies the radius for Fillet foolproof, or specifies the distance for Chamfer foolproof.
