Error checking page

This page lets you check the holes.

Check selected holes only — Select this option to error check only the selected channel holes. Deselect this option to check all channel holes.

Results out of date/Results not out of date — The results are out-of-date if any lines or holes have been edited since the last error check was done.

Errors found/No errors found — Indicates whether any errors have been found on the most recent check.

Check — Click this to check holes for errors. Holes are coloured red if they have errors and green if they don't. Red profiles, indicated by are also drawn to show where holes are too close to the part surface.

Show area of influence — Select this option and check the range of influence, to display blue cylinders (using the default colour scheme) around the holes as indicated by . These give a rough indication of what parts of the mold plate would be cooled by the cooling holes.

Deselect this option to hide the blue cylinders.

Note: Shading is most effective in translucent shaded mode.
