      <p class="para_topic">In some cases (where the part is conveniently designed for molding), it's possible to automatically find the correct part edges for the parting line. </p>
      <p class="para_topic">Click the Auto Search Parting Lines button to display the Search Parting Lines dialog box.  In some cases, you need to select the product model body or define the eject direction.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Select Body</div>
      <p class="para_division">In some cases, there are multiple bodies in the parting part. The Select Body function allows you to select or deselect a solid body for the search of parting lines.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Eject Direction</div>
      <p class="para_division">The Eject Direction function displays the Vector Construtor dialog box.  Using the Vector Constructor, you can define the direction of ejection.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Molded Part Validation</div>
      <p class="para_division">Molded Part Validation helps you investigate and find out about the product that is used as a basis for the mold.</p>
      <p class="para_division">The documentation for this is found in the Mold Tools section in the Table of Contents.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Complex Parting Lines</div>
      <p class="para_division">In cases where the parting geometry is complex or incomplete, it's necessary to use the Split Faces functionality or design some parting lines interactively using the Traverse Loop method.</p>
