      </table><br><p class="para_topic"> Die Tip orients the product part in the desired position in the press stamping window. A DIE_TIP feature is the output for this option, and is required for each product part that is to be positioned in each DIE_OPERATION. This option requires at least one DIE_OPERATION as input.</p>
      <p class="para_topic">The orientation of the product part in the press is commonly called the tip. A DIE_TIP feature creates a representation of the product sheet body transformed into the DIE_OPERATION press stamping window. Defining the DIE_TIP feature requires locating the product sheet body in the DIE_OPERATION feature window so that it is properly positioned in the press that performs the operation. The representation of the product sheet body is a set of curves representing all the exterior and interior edges of the product, and a coordinate system located at the product origin location in the die and on the product.</p>
      <p class="para_topic">DIE_LINEUP and DIE_OPERATION features are required as input for the Die Tip option.</p>
