If you select the parting button while the top, layout, or product nodes are the displayed part, the parting part is automatically set as the work and displayed part. The parting features are created in the parting-part. </p>
      <p class="para_topic">The  <a class="links" href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="top.openFile('moldwizard/part_manager_ov.html');return(false);">Parting Manager</a> dialog provides direct access to the series of dialogs involved in creating and updating a cavity and core with the trim-based parting method. If the product model has internal openings that require solid patch-up or surfaces created with interactive freeform modeling, complete those shut-off designs before proceeding with the Parting functions.
