The draft analysis and the tooling axis creation.

The steps to follow for draft analysis are:

Select the draft analysis.

Select the quick analysis mode.

Select the compass to the tooling axis.

After that click anywhere on the Class A surface.

A window popup and we can observe there 3 different color variations which means that we have given a draft angle of 3 degree

The green color represents the draft is more than three degrees.

The blue color represents the draft is between 0 and 3 degrees.

The red color represents whether the draft is negative or less than three.

Tooling axis creation-

Creating the tooling axis by using bisecting line and a dummy axis.

The steps to follow for creating a tooling axis:

1. Open the file which contains the Class A surface, after creating a geometrical set "Tooling Axis" then select the most appropriate position which can clear the part in one short for manufacturing.For the given component i will select hole

center.

2. Then create a point in the center of the hole selected then draw a dummy line on the z-axis.

3. After that create a plane on the point created with reference to YZ plane direction.

4. Then select the intersect tool that gives the intersection on the Class A surface.

5. Now create 2 lines using the point and point method and extrude the line both sides were well.

6. The Last step create a bisecting line using the above 2 lines and named it as Tooling axis after that hide the dummy tooling axis
