Create Feature - Cutout

Purpose:

To create one or more cutouts in a number of shell profiles.

Prerequisites:

A shell profile (and thus at least one shell stiffener) must exist.

Instructions:

• In create mode, you must indicate one or more shell profiles in which to create the cutouts, and then give a cutout definition. If any shell profiles are already selected, they will be used as input to this function.

  You may enter names of the shell profiles at which to set cutouts in the Positions field. Multiple profile names are separated with a comma. If Indicate Shell Profiles is checked, you will instead be prompted to pick shell profiles after the form has been closed with the Ok button. The cutout type must also be entered in the Cutout Type field.

• In modify mode (Modify was selected in the Model menu), you may change the cutout definition. The modification will only affect the cutouts in the selected shell profile. If cutouts have been created in several profiles at once, the cutout definitions in the different profiles must be changed one at a time.

Options:

Not available.

Result:

• In create mode, cutouts will be created in the selected shell profiles. The Select Submenu - Apply function must be used to commit the addition of cutouts to the shell profile.

• In modify mode, the shell profile will be updated with the new cutout definition. To make changes permanent, Apply must be used. Using the Select Submenu - Deactivate function before the changes have been applied will undo them.
