      </table><br><p class="para_topic">The Trim Task Assistant may be used by a Die Engineer to plan the processing of a stamped sheet metal product for trimming operations. &nbsp;For a given trim profile, Trim Task Assistant lets you define all the trimming operations required to trim the part along that profile. &nbsp;This means that multiple DIE_TRIM_TASK features may be created in a single step. &nbsp;Trim Task Assistant takes into account manufacturing process rules to correctly distinguish between direct trim and cam trim operations. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
      <p class="para_topic">The automation of dividing a given trim profile based on manufacturing requirements saves you time. &nbsp;Additionally, once the trim profile is automatically divided, you can make manual modifications if needed. The system gives continuous feedback for trim angles as you make modifications. Trim Task Assistant also may be used to develop the boundaries between direct trims and cam trims on a given profile. When you are satisfied with the division of the trim profile, and the directions of trim, you can create the trim tasks for the die lineup. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
