Define Workpiece Reference

Defining the workpiece is a prerequisite to generating the core and cavity.

Access:
	On the Core/Cavity tab, click Define Workpiece.

Workpiece Type	Specifies a rectangular or cylindrical workpiece from the drop-down menu.
Product Dimensions	X Shows the projected length of the product in the X direction. Y Shows the projected length of the product in the Y direction. Z Shows the projected length of the product in the Z direction.
Reference	Specifies a By Boundary Box or By References workpiece from the drop-down menu. By References enables selection of a Part CSYS, circular edge, endpoint, Work Point, or UCS in the graphics window. Checking Multiple references enables the selection arrows in the Workpiece Dimensions section.
Workpiece Dimensions	X X+ Specifies the distance between the YZ plane of the product range box and the rectangular workpiece in the positive X direction. X- Specifies the distance between the YZ plane of the product range box and the rectangular workpiece in the negative X direction. X_total Specifies the total length of the workpiece in the X direction. Y Y+ Specifies the distance between the XZ plane of the product range box and the rectangular workpiece in the positive Y direction. Y- Specifies the distance between the XZ plane of the product range box and the rectangular workpiece in the negative Y direction. Y_total Specifies the total length of the workpiece in the Y direction. Z Z+ Specifies the distance between the XY plane of the product range box and the rectangular workpiece in the positive Z direction. Z- Specifies the distance between the XY plane of the product range box and the rectangular workpiece in the negative Z direction. Z_total Specifies the total length of the workpiece in the Z direction. D Specifies the diameter of the cylinder workpiece in the XY section. ![](../../../images/Lock Open_32x32.png) Lock Controls the Unlock and Lock status.
More	The Extend dialog box supports your design so that it is foolproof. Chamfer Generates chamfers to implement a foolproof design. Fillet Generates fillets to implement a foolproof design. Select Corner Specifies a corner in which to design your foolproof design. Radius/Distance Specifies the radius for Fillet foolproof, or specifies the distance for Chamfer foolproof.
