Create Draft Analyses
The draft analysis evaluates model faces for adequate draft between a part and
mold based on the pull direction. Results show as a range of colors on the
model by a specified angle range.
You can create an analysis based on an existing one. You specify the degree
range to analyze for draft or draft angle, and select if draft analysis results are
displayed in a gradient or in discrete color bands.
