Quickstart Pack tutorial: Duplicate the part
In this task, you duplicate the part to make a two cavity tool.
Click
(Home tab > Mold type panel > Multi-Cavity).
Click
(Geometry tab > Layout panel > Duplicate).
- Select Grid.
- Enter 2 rows.
- Enter 100 mm row spacing.
- Select Edge of selection spacing from the drop down box.
- Enter 1 column.
- Click OK.
The injection locations are slightly offset. This can make the runner system unnecessarily complicated.
Click
(Geometry tab > Layout panel > Align).
- Select X direction as Alignment Direction.
- Hold CTRL Key and select both injection locations.
- Select Cavity 1/Gate 1 from the Align with part field.
- Click OK.
The gates are now aligned.
