You can customize the Standard Part libraries to match your company's die design standards and expand the library to include any component or assembly. Currently, the system supplies a metric library based on NAAMS (North American Automotive Metric Standard) Global Standard Components. Additional libraries are forthcoming in later releases.</p>

      <p class="para_division">Choose the Standard Parts icon on the Die Design toolbar or choose Tools&rarr; Die Design&rarr; Standard Parts.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Mounting Features</div>
      <p class="para_division">Installation of most die components requires that special pockets be cut into the mold/die base to mount the component. Standard parts that require mounting-pockets will include a pocket cutting FALSE body that defines the shape of the pocket.</p>
      <p class="para_division">The Create Pockets function subtracts a geometry-linked copy of the FALSE body from the target object to create a mounting pocket.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Standard Parts Management System</div>
      <p class="para_division">The Die Design Standard Parts Management System provides the following functions:</p>
      <ul>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Library registration system that organizes and displays the catalogs and component choices</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Installation function that clones, renames and adds components to the die assembly</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Component positioning functions that orient, position and/or mate standard parts to the die assembly</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Database-driven configuration system to allow option-driven parameter choices</p>

      </ul>
      <div class="title_division">Components, Component Assemblies, and Component Sets</div>
      <p class="para_division">Die component grouping requirements differ from component to component. The Standard Parts Management System can accommodate the needs of different component grouping cases.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Single Components</div>
      <p class="para_division">Some die components, such as sprue bushings, are installed as single components. These standard parts are usually modeled as a single part file that contains two bodies: the component and the pocket cutting body.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Component Assemblies</div>
      <p class="para_division">Some components, such as locating rings with screws, are assemblies. These standard parts are usually assemblies of each component.</p>
      <p class="para_division">For instance, a locating ring assembly may be a ring component and two instances of a screw component. The pocket-cutting body may be in the ring component with features for the tapped holes, or in both the ring and screw components. Parameters for the components are controlled by expressions in the top component of the standard part assembly through interpart expressions.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Component Sets</div>
      <p class="para_division">Some components, such as screws, are best installed as sets of components. Component sets are usually a parent component containing multiple instances of a sub-component.</p>
      <p class="para_division">The sub-component is usually positioned relative to its parent by mating conditions and often has many instances where their existence is controlled by suppression by expression. Parameters for the components are controlled by expressions in the top component of the standard part assembly through interpart expressions.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Customization</div>
      <p class="para_division">The Standard Parts Management System is customizable to include any NX </p>
