Die Design Menu: Insert Tools

Access: Open this group of functions from one of the following locations:

Select Die Design > Insert Tools from the menu bar. Select the required function.
Select Insert from the following Die Design Guides: Die Tool Design Guide and Die Transfer Guide. Select the required function.

This group of functions provide a simple automated way to add inserts, and enables you to establish pockets in the core and cavity at a very early stage in design, so that time consuming wire EDM and milling operations can begin on the first day of design.

The following functions are available in this group:

	Add Insert	Create the insert geometry and its cutting object including reliefs and cut the plate with it.
	Add Insert from Catalog	Add an insert part from the catalog.
	Add New Part	Add a part/component to the assembly/sub-assembly.
	Add Wedge	Add a wedge to a solid object to lock it in position. A cutting object can also be selected.
	Automatic Cut	Cut component(s) automatically by component(s) with Cutting Objects according to their cutting rules.
	Cutting Object	Create a new object that will be marked and used as a cutting object.
	Extrude	Extrude a contour to add or remove material. This function is displayed if a part is activated.
	Sketcher	The Cimatron Sketcher is the graphic environment used to create sketches - 2D parametric geometry. The 2D geometry can then be used elsewhere in Cimatron's hybrid environment, such as in Part Modeling functions or in NC. The Sketcher is a powerful, yet intuitive, tool enabling you to create and modify entities in relation to each other.
