Mold Design
Mold Design
(OP)
I'm new to Solidworkks, 6.5 years in unigraphics (nx3 last).
Can I have an assembly where I add a component(ej. Pin),then subrtact it from comopents(retainer, Insrert & pin plate)? When I change the position of the ej.pin it needs to update all components. I'm I just dreaming?
Thanks

I used to create all my molds by inserting a Cavity, Core, and my part to an assembly and then using the Cavity Feature to subtract out what I needed.
However, the new feature set for molds is much better now, in my opinion. Very different from how I used to do it, but if you're going to learn a new thing, it may as well be the "best" method. You can even create custom parting surfaces for more complex geometry. I've had tools cut using the new methods and they came out very nice.
