Workpiece Pocket

[Carl_mgfx]

Hi All

I've seen in the Whats new for Inventor 2013 and also in the wikihelp that you can merge your cores and cavities into your mold base plates.

I now have got to a point where I want to do this but when I select Workpiece Pocket I do not get the option to "Merge Cores and Cavities into Moldbase Plates".  Are there specific contions for this to happen?  How do I know if my mold design meets these conditions?

I have attached a few screen shots for clarification.

If more information is need I can supply it.  Please can someone help me with this.

The problem is that you have combined the Cores and Cavities before you merge the Core/Cavity to Mold Base plates.
We don't support combined Core and Cavity to be merged into Mold Base plates. This is the reason.

I hope this helps.

Yes, you should delete the combined core and cavity feature to use Merge the Core/Cavity to Mold Base plates option in Workpiece Pocket. You may need to adjust the dimensions of workpiece to meet your requirement.
