Setting default runner properties

There are two ways to affect the runner type, shape and size. This topic describes how you can set defaults for these properties before you create the runner.

You can also change the properties of existing runner sections.

1. Click (Geometry tab > Properties panel > Defaults > Runner Properties).

   The Runner properties dialog appears.

2. In the Runner type drop-down list, select the desired runner type.
3. In the Runner shape drop-down list, select the desired runner shape. Available shapes differ depending on the selected runner type.
   Note: The Annular runner shape is only available for the Hot runner type.
4. Change or enter a value for each runner attribute. The values you are requested to enter depend on the selected runner shape.
5. Click Runner Balance Constraints... to set the Runner Balance optimization level.
6. Click OK to save and close the dialog.
