New page

==Template==

This tutorial will step you through the basics of creating a part using a pre-defined template.

To start, you must open a new Template window. To do this, either click the New Part icon at the top of the window or click File --> New --> Tube.

[[File:NewPartIcon.jpg]] [[File:FileNewTube.jpg|200px]]

This will open the New Design menu. The New Design menu will also automatically appear when the software starts up. Within this menu select the Template option in the Create New Design section.

[[File:TutorialNewDesign.jpg|400px]]

Doing so will bring up the Template selection menu. In this window, the left side will be occupied by a list of pre-defined templates available to use.

[[File:NewTemp1.jpg|450px]]

Click the '+' next to Hoops to expand that section. Within this section click the '+' next to Double Bevel Hoop. Once this section is opened, three template options will be shown. You may notice that placing the cursor over these options will cause a preview of the current template to be shown in the frame to the right. Select the 'Double Bevel Hoop (Center Dims)' by clicking on it, as shown below. Click the 'Select' button in the bottom right corner of the window to bring the template into the design interface.

[[File:NewTemp2.jpg|450px]]

In the template design window, you will need to assign a die and material. In the Die & Material tab in the top left corner, click the drop down menu below Select Material and choose any material available in the list. Click the drop down menu below Select Die and select an appropriately sized die from the list.

Note: If a default die and material have already been set up, they will already be selected. In that case proceed to the next step.

Once the die and material are selected, the part design panel will be open to edit. Below the tabbed section, a 2D image of the template will be shown. Each dimension line will have a field where a value can be entered. Enter the values that are shown in the image below.

As values are entered, the part display to the right and the results table will be updated automatically. One all the fields have been filled in correctly, the window should look similar to the image below. The part is now complete. The results table for the complete part is shown in the top right corner.
