Mold seperation

[jhricm]

How can I make SolidWorks handle by-pass shutoffs. The Shut-Off Surfaces command does not locate all of them and even the ones it finds it fails to create surfaces.

Maybe this will help?

I have completed afew simple molds without any problems. What is a problems is by-pass shut offs. I may be asking to much of SolidWorks.

That will not be a problem w/SW 2005. (By the way, anyone know when that ships?) I saw a killer demo at my VAR.

Meanwhile. ..

You can do it manually within the context of an assembly using the cavity feature.
