The HyperXtrude interface in Manufacturing Solutions includes a Press Database that contains two presses. It also includes an easy-to-use editor for modifying and creating new presses. You can use the Press Database Editor to select a press for the model, add new presses to the database and edit existing presses in the database.
Note: | Before you use the Press Database, set the HX_USER_PRS_DB environment variable to the directory in which your proprietary presses are stored. This is needed only if you have presses in your user area. |
The dialog is divided into two areas
• | The tree on the left shows the system presses available. The user press branch is visible only if the environment variable HX_USER_PRS_DB is set. |
• | The tabs on the right show the properties of the press selected in the tree. |
Right click on a tree item to display relevant options based on whether the item is a directory or press.
