This dialog allows you to move existing bubblers and baffles by changing the coordinates of the intersections.
To access this dialog, click 
().
Note: The Cooling tools are not available for a
Part Only
mold type.
There are two ways to use this dialog to move bubblers and baffles:
- Click on an intersection on the bubbler or baffle, enter the new X, Y and Z coordinates, and click Apply, or
- Click and hold the left mouse button to drag an intersection to a new location on the display; the X, Y and Z coordinates will be updated automatically.
The Grid settings allow you to display or hide the modeling grid. If the modeling grid is displayed, you can choose the Snap to grid option to help you locate cooling channel segments precisely. You can also access the default grid properties and change them if necessary.
Dialog elements
- X, Y and Z Coordinates
- Specify the new coordinates for the selected bubbler or baffle, or use the cursor to drag the bubbler to the new position.
- Grid Settings
- Enables/disables grid options.
This area of the dialog specifies whether the grid appears when you create or move a runner/cooling channel, whether the runner/cooling channel is constrained to the grid points, and allows you to define the grid settings.
- Location
- Set or edit a modeling plane.
- Edit
- Modify the properties of the selected plane.
- Display grid
- Specifies whether a grid appears when you create or move runners, cooling channels and parting planes, or size the mold. Note: The grid is parallel to the X-Y plane.
- Snap to grid
- Specifies that the nearest grid point is automatically used when you create or move runners, cooling channels, or parting planes, or size the mold using the mouse. This helps define exact dimensions. Tip: You can turn the Snap to grid option on and off while you are drawing a new cross section.
- Defaults
- Opens the Define Grid dialog, and allows you to set the grid size, style and origin.
