Form CS

Access: Open this function from one of the following locations:

  • Select Die Design > Forming Shapes > Form CS from the menu bar.

  • Select Form CS from the following Die Design Guide: Die Process Design Guide (Forming).

Create a Form CS (Coordinate System) on a forming shape. The Form CS is the master UCS for a forming shape part. The positioning of the parts in the forming shape assembly is defined according to this UCS.

The Form CS also defines the connection between the strip UCS (at certain stations) and the forming shape part when the part is added to the strip assembly.

This is the first stage that is performed when defining the forming shapes, and is described as the reference UCS (called Form CS) in the forming shape environment. Each part of the forming shape will contain a unique Form CS.
