It can cut into the solid mold base. However, you are missing the benefits mentioned by patprimmer. If you put it in the solid just leave room to put in a manufactured one later as opposed to welding the plates to make any repairs. True the Nozzle seat rarely sees damage; abrasive/corrosive...

You could make a pattern file of your title block for each project. Then use that pattern on each drawing. This what we do and it works pretty well.

Try offsetting the gusset so that it is inside of the tube. If it is tangent it is common that it will not unite. Give it a try. DP

Hi John, I tried to do what you suggested but I was still unable to select the solid model. I have enclosed a part file that has all of the standard attributes that we currently use. Do these type of attributes work for what we are trying to do or is there something different we would need to...

I just tried your sugestion but I was unbale to select the model after I specified the attribute. Is there anyway this could be automated when the file is first added to the assembly using mold wizard rather than a secondary operation?

Does anyone know of a way to change model color based on attribute or expression or anything else. We have mold wizard parts (cooling fittings, baffles, diverters …) and the same part file could be used by different suppliers. An example would be a DME Plastic Baffle and the Progressive Brass...

I have found that you can also highlight (select) the cells you want in the NX BOM and hit <ctrl C>. Then simply paste <cvtl V> into excel. This makes for a down and dirty way to do it.

Do you have experience with using this material (325 valox) with a sub gate? If you do does it tend to break in the runner and not exit the sub gate?

I have called SPI and they say there isn't a "standard". Press manufactures just use the same holes to stay competitive and interchangeable with their competition. One guy I talked to it is probably based mostly on the DME moldbase sizes for safe clamping pratices. Other than that there really...

Could you use an internal ring gate on the part or does part have to be degated when it is ejected?

Does anyone know where I can get a copy of what the SPE standard is for bolt hole locations in injection molding machine plattens? In particular I am looking for locations in machines over 1000 tons.

It seems that there are little to no plans to fix it. From another forum a guy said... "In june of 2007 I had pulled out a pr out on this problem and I don't think it is fixed yo the pr # is PR5768789" "I don't know if they are ever going to fix it because they changed it to an enhancement...
