I am designing several parts for casting. Does anyone know where I can go to learn more about the draft feature and split line? The help files aren’t very good on this. I am trying to add the parting line and draft to my part for the patterns.

You could check to see if there’s any videos on YouTube. Also, check out SolidProfessor.com. It’ll cost you a couple of bucks, but may be worth it.

Sounds like a video Ben could do….

Any chance you could provide a model of the part to be molded and blanks of your mold halfs or mold sections? This is a topic that can be looked at in many different ways depending on the parts being made…

I am attaching my part as modeled. The trouble that I am running into is that I need a parting line on the bottom of the bosses that extrude from the front of the part. I then need to draft each direction from the parting line. Anyone have any ideas on this?

I will have a look at this tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.
Dave I will put together a cast for this soon.
