Draft Analysis

Using the settings in draft analysis, you can verify draft angles on model faces or you can examine angle changes within a face.

To apply a draft analysis to verify draft angles:

Open the model, then click Draft Analysis on the Mold Tools toolbar, or click Tools, Draft Analysis.

Under Analysis Parameters, do the following:

Select a planar face, a linear edge or an axis to indicate the Direction of Pull.

Note the draw direction. To change the draw direction, click Reverse Direction . You can also use the handle in the graphics area to reverse direction.

When analyzing the draft for surfaces, an additional Face classification criterion is added: Surface faces with draft. Since a surface includes an inside and an outside face, surface faces are not added to the numerical part of the classification (Positive draft and Negative draft). Surface faces with draft lists all positive and negative surfaces that include draft.
