  • If the Rule box is selected and you first select a plate that is oblique by rule, then the oblique properties are set and you can pick only connected plates.

  • If the Rule box is selected and you first select a plate that is constant by rule, then you can pick only plates that comply with that rule.

  • If the Rule box is not selected, then you can select any plates. The software applies the last used margin as a default.

  • If the Mode box is set to Constant, then you can select any parts.

  • If the Mode box is set to Oblique, then you can select only connected parts.

  • If you clear a part, then the software automatically clears the faces of that part.

  • If the Mode box is set to Constant, then you can select any face of the selected parts. If you select two parts, and then select the face between those parts, the software selects one edge of the connected parts. You must select an edge on the other plate for placing multiple margins. You can place a margin on only one edge of the plat. For example, if you select p1, p2, and p3 in the Part step, then you can select one edge on each of the plates to place a margin.

  • If the Mode box is set to Oblique, then you can select only connected, continuous faces. For example if you select p1 and p2, then you cannot select p3.

  • After the faces are selected, then the software runs the appropriate rules to set the margins and the default feature move setting.
