Transfer Die Guides

After you use the Transfer Die Guide Wizard to set up the environment for starting a Transfer Die Quote, the Transfer Die Guide menu is shown on the right hand side of the graphics area. It is presented in the order your would logically follow to create a Die Quote. The definitions for each of the functions are shown in the following table..

Icon	Function Description
	UCS Normal to Plane Create a UCS by defining a plane that will be normal to its Z axis.
	DieTip CS Create a DieTip CS (Coordinate System) on a forming shape. The DieTip CS is the master UCS for a forming shape part. The positioning of the parts in the forming shape assembly is defined according to this UCS.
	Die Skin Create a skin (with no thickness) from an object. This enables clear and easy analysis of operations in the system.
	Blank Create or edit the blank for the electrode, using finite element analysis (FEA).
	2D Addendum Create an offset path to a blanked part to add extra material around the perimeter.
	Process Orientation Create the forming shape (where the part is gradually unfolded) by defining the appropriate transfer shape over a selected blank.
	Assign Forming This function provides a method to efficiently define the various Forming Operations including single axis bending, multi axis forming, ribs, embosses, extrusions, darts, gussets, and more.
	Assign Restrike & Cams This function provides a method to define various Restrike and CAM Operations, such as single axis restriking, multi axis restriking, flattening, coining, and CAM forms, in an efficient manner.
	Assign Cutting This function provides a method to efficiently estimate the various Cutting Operations.
	Calculate Quote Use this function to submit the collected data to the online estimation engine.
