Draft angle check

[Rastanking]

Hi everyone,

I'm a novice with ProE and I'm a little confused about what a draft angle check checks and how to interpret the results from carrying out one.

I have created a mold for my part then when carrying out a draft check, what am I checking for? Is that the draft I have specified on my model is the same as the mold so that it will eject? If that is the case and all the colours are less than the draft angle of the part why is the top and bottom face of the mold magenta? (using Wildfire 4)

According to the chart the draft angle is too great but wouldn't that be the case for all molds and, more importantly, does it matter if it's on top of the mold?

I know there are many questions here but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

May be this information help you a little bit.
Suppose you are carrying out a draft analysis of a component...
The component will be in different colors
These
colors correspond to the legend that pops up at the left of screen (See 1st image)
There are three black triangles on the left side of this
legend. The top and bottom represent the positive and negative draft that
we are measuring .Here The max/min value is
5/-5 respectively.


The center black triangle represents no draft
(0.0), and this corresponds to the lime green color.

Any
surface that is magenta or blue is at least 5.0 degrees, and any other colors
are between 0 and 5 or 0 and -5.
