Adjust Position

Specify the location for each plastic part. Set the offset distances along the X, Y, and Z axes of the coordinate system for the mold design.

Access:
	On the Mold Layout tab, click Adjust Position. Note: If Adjust Position is not visible in the Mold Layout tab, click the arrow under Adjust Orientation, and then click Adjust Position.

Align XY plane with reference

	The selected plane of the adjusted part moves to the same height as the selected plane of the reference part.
	Plastic Part In the graphics window, select a part.
	Reference In the graphics window, select a part as the reference part. The plastic part adjusts according to the position of the reference part.
	Face/Plane as Additional Selection After you select a part, you can select a face, plane, or edge of the adjusting part. After you select the reference part, you can select a face or plane of the reference part, or select Mold design CSYS. The selected faces must be parallel with the XY plane.
Array	Coordinate Array Move the part to align the bottom surface of the adjusting part range box with the reference part range box on a horizontal plane. Ordinal Array Move the part. Align the top surface of the adjusting part range box with the bottom surface of the reference part range box on a horizontal plane.
Offset	X Offset The distance between the YZ work plane of the adjusting part and the YZ work plane of the reference part, or Mold Design CSYS. Y Offset The distance between the XZ work plane of the adjusting part and the XZ work plane of the reference part, or Mold Design CSYS.
Assistant Dimensions	After entering an offset value, you can adjust the position of the part range box. Click the dimension line in the graphics window. In the Edit dialog box, enter a value, and then click . In the Adjust Position dialog box, the offset value automatically updates.
