Click the PLOT button, and eta/DYNAFORM will display the draw depth control of the die.
CHECK TIP (TRIM ANGLE)
This option calculates and displays the trim angle of a part at typically 30 degrees to the forming direction. It checks the maximum angle for direct trim.
Click the PLOT button, and eta/DYNAFORM will display the contour of the trim angle. Red color indicates the area needs cam trim and blue indicates direct trim.
CHECK DISTANCE (DIE AND BINDER)
This function checks the draw depth relative to the binder. The binder must be in the database when using this function. This function will not work once the binder has been trimmed by the BINDER TRIM function.
Click the PLOT button, the program will display a distance contour for the distance between the die and binder.
DIRECTION
This function enables the user to select a draw direction; Global Coordinate System (GCS) or Local Coordinate System (LCS).
