Creating standard sizes

When creating or optimizing runners, gates, cooling channels or the sprue, it is possible to select commonly used (standard) sizes for all dimensions from a list you have generated. This list can be loaded into any project for reuse as required.

  1. Click Standard Sizes (Geometry tab > Properties panel > Defaults > Standard Sizes).

    The Standard sizes dialog appears.

  2. Enter a standard size in the Size text box, and then click Add.

    The value will be moved to the list of standard sizes.

  3. Repeat previous step for each value to be added.
  4. Click Save.

    The Save As dialog appears.

  5. Enter a suitable name into the File name text box, and then click Save.

    The values are saved as a Standard Runner Sizes (*.srs) file.

  6. Click OK to save and close the dialog.

The list needs to be loaded into a project before it can be used.

Note: The standard sizes can be changed, or other values used, at any time during the modeling process.
