Allow Reduced Angle Option
The Allow reduced angle check
box is available only with Parting Line
draft.
NOTE: When you select this option,
the draft angle on some portions of the drafted face may be smaller than
the specified draft angle.
Use the Allow reduced angle
check box under the following condition:
The normal of one or more side faces adjacent
to the edge and the faces being drafted is nearly perpendicular to the
Direction of Pull. With this model
type and condition, select the Allow
reduced angle check box when the maximum angle between the pull
direction and the normal of the steep face, plus the draft angle, is greater
than or equal to 90°.

The vertical blue arrow represents the Direction
of Pull (Top plane). The
red arrow represents the surface normal at its maximum
angle to the pull direction.
When the sum of the angle produced by the
maximum
angle and the Draft Angle  is 90° or greater, select the Allow
reduced angle check box to create the draft. |

Draft applied (Draft
Angle is 25°). |
The image above displays the same 25° draft
applied. However, it is enhanced by applying an offset face and
displaying curvature
on the offset face. |
|
In this example, the draft angle towards the
narrow ends of the drafted face is reduced below the specified 25° to
create the draft. |
