BINDER TRIM

 

After the addendum is generated, the binder is trimmed and connected to the die.  This function allows the user to trim the binder to complete the die face design. If the addendum is defined for the die, the POP LINE is used to trim the binder.  If addendum is not defined, the die boundary line will be used to trim the binder.  The BINDER TRIM dialog box is illustrated in Figure 6.5.18.

These functions enable the user to edit the trim line.  Refer to Section 6.2.1 for a detailed description of EDIT LINE functions.

 

 

There are two types of boundary available for trimming operation.  The trim line can be used as an inner boundary or outer boundary.  If OUTER is toggled on, the part outside of the trim line is kept after trimming.  If INNER is toggled on, the part within the trim line is kept after trimming.  If there is an inner addendum, for example, the inner binder trim is required.

 

 

 

The SELECT button enables the user to select a line from the current database as the trim line.

 

The DESELECT button enables the user to deselect the selected line.
