Core PropertyManager
You can extract geometry from a tooling solid to create a core feature. You can also create lifters and trimmed ejector pins.
To create a core:
-
Create a core sketch on a tooling body (main core or cavity).
-
Click Core 
on the Mold Tools toolbar, or click Insert, Molds, Core.
-
In the PropertyManager, set the options as described below, then click OK 
.
A new body is created for the core and is subtracted from the tooling body.
In the FeatureManager design tree, in the Solid Bodies folder 
, a new folder named Core bodies appears the first time you create a core. Additional core bodies you create are stored in this folder.
To facilitate viewing the core, hide the tooling body.
