Every Mold Project uses the Setup Wizard to define the project.

  1. From the Cimatron opening screen, click the Mold Setup Wizard button.

    The Mold Project Setup Wizard is loaded.

    Item Description
    1 Assembly Name field
    2 Create a New Folder checkbox
    3 Layout definition
    4 Preferences button
  2. In the Assembly Name field, enter Mouse cover.

  3. Select Create a New Folder to save the main assembly in a new folder.

  4. To define the layout, press the folder button next to the layout field. The Mouse cover is a single cavity mold so accept the default layout part, Layout_Single_mm.

    While loading the project, you can decide on the layout (pattern of coordinate systems used to place the work parts) and where to position your parts. 

    You can either create a new layout part or load one from a predefined layouts library.

    You can define the name of the Assembly. Text can be added to the beginning or end of the name using the Assembly Name_Generator in the Preferences.
    1. Click the Preferences button.
       
    2. In the Preferences Editor, open MoldBase > Name_Generator > Assembly_Name. Ensure that the Suffix field is empty.
