Modify the manifold block size during the manifold design process based on:
- Required change in manifold length, width, and height entered.
- Required material cross section from an existing material X-section database.

Select and insert cavities/footprints on the manifold from a standard cavity/ footprint library.
Add a Net name when inserting a cavity.

Insert the cavity for orifice plug at the center of cavity on the manifold.
- MDTools automatically updates the spot face depth of the orifice cavity so that the cavity starts from the bottom of the main cavity.
- An option for merging the orifice plug cavity with the parent cavity is also available.

Insert four mounting holes on a selected manifold face, at a specified distance from the edges.

Insert an undercut in a selected cavity on a manifold at a specified depth from the cavity face and at a specified angle from the centre of the selected cavity.

Replace a cavity located on a manifold with any cavity in the MDTools library.
The new cavity replaces the original cavity at the same position on the manifold.

Automatically delete the complete cavity/footprint.
All the features used to create the cavity/footprint in SolidWorks are automatically deleted.

Change the dimensions of an existing undercut, per new specifications.

Edit or change the dimensions of an existing slot, per new specifications.

Automatically generate machining IDs for all the cavities on the manifold, based on the Diameter or Distance naming options, and one of the four alternative numbering options.

Select between the upper and lower case alphabets for cavity machining IDs. You can now also rename the cavities using Scheme 4.

Suppress a cavity/footprint or unsuppress a suppressed cavity/footprint.

Add a drill to an existing cavity.
If the drill diameter is less than the maximum Step12 diameter parameter (defined in MDTools Cavity), then the drill is added at the bottom of the cavity otherwise the drill is added in between the 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.

Delete an assembly envelope around the selected cavities or footprints that are created using the Draw Assembly Envelope command.
The assembly envelope is automatically deleted around the selected cavities or footprints.

Locate a position or an area on a selected manifold face where a cavity can be placed to connect a selected net.
The cavities or ports are displayed in the selected net in green and all other cavities or ports are displayed in the Dead Area color.

Show or hide cavity IDs of the cavities on selected faces or the cavity ID of a selected cavity.
Display of the cavity ID at the center of a cavity enables you to identify the cavity on the manifold.

Change the visibility of the cavity center points.

Toggle the visibility of component assembly envelopes and footprint envelopes on the manifold.

Align two cavities on the manifold.
- Two cavities on the same face are aligned on the coordinate with shortest distance.
- Two cavities on different faces are aligned along the plane containing axis of the 'Align to cavity' and the center point of the 'Align 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 on two coordinates
- Cavities on perpendicular faces can be moved on a single coordinate.

Interchange the location of two cavities on a manifold.

Relocate the cavity/footprint from one face to another face of the manifold.
Also, position the cavity to maintain a minimum wall thickness with an existing cavity.

Copy multiple cavities/footprints simultaneously, by specifying the displacement on their common coordinates.

Create embossing at the specified location and attach embossing to a selected cavity.
Create, modify, suppress, and delete embossing on a manifold block.

Check the wall thickness between two selected cavities.
The cavity names are listed with the actual wall thickness, in parenthesis, if the wall thickness is less than the specified value.

Measure the wall thickness between the selected surfaces.
The minimum distance between the selected surfaces is displayed in the Wall Thickness dialog box.

Change the precision for cavity location, drill depth, and the angle value of angle holes.
The location, drill depth, and the angle values (Both Alpha and Beta) of cavities are updated.

Check the design for manufacturing and tooling limitations.
Also, check the manifold for angle holes, compound angle holes, non-standard drills, non-standard spot faces, and drills with slenderness ratio more than a specified value.

Automatically extract the machining data from all the cavities and create the machining chart.

Automatically display the cavity ID near the cavities in 2D drawing views.

Automatically display the component ID near the cavities in 2D drawing views.

Set assembly constraints on all the part models to make them work with the Assembly Interface.
Parts without the assembly constraints will not get assembled on the manifold.
Set all the assembly constraints on part models.
