Action Pad

The Action Pad lets you organize your favorite commands.

By default, Core & Cavity Separation proposes the commands listed below, provided you have access to the corresponding apps.

Note: The online User Assistance of commands imported from other apps may be available only from the action bar of those apps.

To access the Action Pad panel, from the Tools section of the action bar, click Action Pad , or right-click inside the 3D area and select Display > Action Pad.

Pulling Direction
Creates the main and secondary pulling directions.
See Creating a Pulling Direction.
Solid Axis To Axis
Translates elements from an axis to another.
See Transforming Elements from an Axis to Another.
Solid Scaling
Resizes the geometry to the required dimensions.
See Creating Scalings.
Connect Checker Analysis
Analyzes the connections between two curves.
See Checking Connections Between Curves.
Wall Thickness Analysis
Measures the thickness of a part.
See Analyzing Wall Thicknesses.
Parting Line
Creates the geometrical junction line that parts the mold into cavity and core .
See Creating a Parting Line.
Spline
Creates spline curves.
Reflect Line
Creates open or closed reflect lines.
Silhouette
Creates a silhouette on a support along a direction or from an origin.
Creating Silhouettes
Projection
Creates geometry by projecting one or more elements onto a support.
Separation Manager
Creates a separation manager from a part geometry, a pulling direction and a parting line.
See Creating a Separation Manager.
Split
Splits a surface or wireframe element using a cutting element.
Boundary
Creates the boundary curve of a surface or the boundary point of a curve by selecting a surface edge or a surface.
Fill Separation Surface
Fills holes generated by inner boundaries of surfaces.
See Filling Separation Surfaces.
Fill
Creates a fill surface between boundary segments.
Parting Surface
Creates a parting surface from the pulling direction and the shape (surfaces).
See Creating a Parting Surface.
Extrapolate
Extrapolates a surface at one or several boundaries or a curve.
Extrude
Creates an extruded surface by extruding a profile along a given direction.
Multi-Sections Surface
Creates a multi-section surface by sweeping one or more section curves along an automatically computed or user-defined spine.
Sweep
Creates a swept surface by sweeping out a profile in planes normal to a spine curve.
