Pattern Sketch 
Access: Open this function from one of the following locations:
-
Select Mold Design > Runner > Pattern Sketch from the menu bar.
-
Select Runner Design > Pattern Sketch from the Mold Design Guide Toolbar.
Create a sketch in a runner part. A runner part will be created if it does not already exist.
-
Select the datum plane or planar face where you want to create the runners. Within the runner options, this plane can be created, if required, using the Parallel Plane option.
-
Press Sketch on the Mold Design Guide Toolbar to run the Sketcher. Select the required plane, if you didn't previously select one.
-
Using the Line option of the Sketcher (this is the default option), draw the center lines of the runner bodies. These will be the skeletons of the runner system.
When completed, the Sketcher feature will appear in the Feature Tree.
-
Use the Runner Bodies function to create the runners around the sketched lines.
