      <p class="para_topic">Each of the sample machine tools shipped with NX, as well as the  one you created, has a junction called _PART_MOUNT_JUNCTION. It is this junction and the one you are about to create that are mated automatically when you replace the machine tool with another one.</p>
      <p class="para_topic">To create the part mounting junction:</p>
      <ol type="1" start="1">
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">With the right mouse button, click on <b class="uiTerm">PART</b> in the <b class="uiTerm">Machine Tool Navigator</b> and select <b class="uiTerm">Junction</b>. The <b class="uiTerm">Create Junction</b> dialog opens.
            </p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Enter a name in the <b class="uiTerm">Name</b> field. The default junction name is NEW_NAME. The junction you are creating is going to be merged with the junction called PART_MOUNT_JUNCTION that is inside the machine tool kinematics. Whenever you merge two junctions, one of the junction names disappears. For that reason, accept the default as the name will not appear again.
            </p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Click <b class="uiTerm">Define Coordinate Systems</b>. The <b class="uiTerm">CSYS Constructor</b> dialog opens.
            </p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Create a coordinate system at the location on the part where the PART_MOUNT_JUNCTION in the machine tool should mate with the junction you are about to create. In our example, the PART_MOUNT_JUNCTION appears here:</p>
