Tip: Color Defintions for Bores and Holes with Expert Moldbase Extension

Hello,

a tiny blog entry for setting up color definitions for bores and holes in EMX. It is quite simple.

Go to the EMX Options -> Technology Tab

You will find 3 columns: Hole Color, Face Color, 2nd Hole Color

In the rows different cutout UDFs are listed. In this example I have chosen 2 different UDFS that are used to create holes for guide components guide_thread_bore and guide_thru_thread (1.) and one for the cut out of Locating ing slots locating_round_slot (2.)

Double click within a cell and a color dialog will open.

For the guide UDFs if have choosen a RED color

For the Locating UDFs if have chosen a GREEN color.

With this setup every time guide_thread_bore and guide_thru_thread are used, these cutouts will be colored RED.

Every time I use locating_round_slot these cutouts will be colored GREEN.

This is how it looks like within a mold base:

Thanks,

Thomas
