Create a gate

1. Click (Geometry tab > Properties panel > Defaults), and select Gate Properties from the drop-down menu to open the Gate properties dialog.
   
   
2. Select Cold in the Gate type drop-down menu and Circular Tapered in the Gate shape drop-down menu.
3. Enter a Start diameter (1) of 4 mm, and an End diameter (2) of 2 mm.
4. Select Horizontal by length from the Orientation drop-down menu, then click OK.
5. Click (View tab > Visibility panel > Object Visibility) and deselect Injection Cones.
   
   This will hide the injection location, which will make it easier to create the gates.
6. Click (Geometry tab > Feed System panel > Gate) to open the Create gate dialog.
   
   
7. Select Injection Location 1 from the Select drop-down list in the Injection location section.
8. Select Defined by coordinate and move the cursor over the design grid towards the runner. A thin yellow line is drawn from the injection location to the grid point nearest to the cursor. A small yellow sphere indicates the end point of the gate.
   
   
9. Click the end of the runner. The gate has been created.
   
   
10. Right-click on the grid and select Finish Create Gate from the menu, or click OK in the Create Gate dialog.
11. Click Finish Geometry on the Geometry tab to close the tab.
