Change the design-specific
cavity dimensions inside Inventor.
Select a tool (Drill or Spot face tool) from the tooling
knowledge base. This helps avoid the use of non-standard
drills and spot faces. |
|
 |
Edit or change all the dimensions
used to create the undercut.
MDTools® modifies the existing
undercut according to the new specifications. |
|
 |
Edit or change all the parameters
used to create the slot.
MDTools® modifies the existing
slot, per the new specifications. |
|
 |
Edit or change all dimensions
used to create the O-ring groove.
MDTools® recreates and
modifies the existing O-ring groove,
per the new specifications. |
|
 |
 |
|
 |
Precisely move or relocate
a cavity: Specify the X and Y values from the face
origin. Enter the displacement values, which is ?X
and ?Y. |
|
 |
Align two cavities on the
manifold:
- Two cavities on the same face are aligned on the
coordinate with shortest distance.
- Cavities on two perpendicular faces are aligned
with reference to the common coordinate. |
|
 |
Relocate the cavity/footprint
from one face of a manifold to another manifold face.
Connect the cavity with either one or two existing
cavities on the block, when relocating the cavity. |
|
 |
Move multiple cavities on
the manifold simultaneously, by entering the displacement
along their common coordinate:
- Cavities on the same or opposite faces can be moved
along two coordinates.
- Cavities on perpendicular faces can be moved along
a single coordinate. |
|
 |
Interchange the location
of two cavities on a manifold. The two cavities replace
each other. |
|
 |
 |
|
 |
Automatically delete the
complete cavity/footprint.
All the features used to create the cavity/footprint
in Inventor are automatically deleted. |
|
 |
Automatically delete the
selected O-ring grooves. |
|
 |
Delete the assembly envelope/outline
around the selected cavities/footprints created using
this command. |
|
 |
Rotate the inserted footprint
on the manifold surface.
The footprint is rotated by the angle specified, about
the center of the main cavity of the footprint. |
|
 |
Automatically match the
properties of two or more cavities.
Match drill diameter, drill depth, drill tip angle,
spot face/LS depth, cavity inclination (Alpha and
Beta), net name, and cavity machining information. |
|
 |
Stretch the drill and change
its depth by clicking and dragging the cavity to the
required depth. |
|
 |
 |
|
 |
Replace a cavity located
on the manifold with any other cavity from the MDTools® library.
The new cavity is inserted at the location of the
existing cavity. |
|
 |
Replace all the cavities
of selected type inside a manifold with any cavity
in the MDTools® library.
The new cavity replaces all the original cavities
at the same position on the manifold. It also updates
the selected properties. |
|
 |
 |
|
 |
Automatically add a drill
to an existing cavity.
MDTools® adds the machining
operation in a user-specified row in the machining
sequence. |
|
 |
Automatically add the counter
bore to an existing cavity. |
|
 |
Automatically flush the
construction plugs below the manifold surface by increasing
the spot face depth of the cavity.
Flush a single selected cavity or all the cavities
on a selected face. |
|
 |
 |
|
 |
Suppress a cavity/footprint
or unsuppress a suppressed cavity/footprint.
MDTools® automatically
suppresses all the features used to create the cavity
when you suppress a cavity. |
|
 |
Constrain a cavity either
to another cavity on a manifold or to a selected manifold
edge.
MDTools® automatically
updates the location of a connecting hole when you
relocate the main cavity.
Unconstrain a cavity and relocate it independently. |
|
 |
Locate cavities on the manifold. |
