Scaling or offsetting mold cavity surfaces?
Scaling or offsetting mold cavity surfaces?
(OP)
I often use the mold/cavity function to create a nest for parts. What I've been doing is uniform scaling the part that I'm making the mold cavity from if the part has no holes but if the part has holes I offset the surfaces and connect the surfaces...which takes time. I can't uniform scale the part since the holes will change locations. What I'd like to be able to do is make a cavity of the original, unscaled or non-offset part and scale the cavity for part clearance purposes. How do I do this?
