      <p class="para_topic">Mold Wizard functions intended to operate on a specific part or related files are called part-specific operations. Examples of part-specific operations are the Mold Wizard modules for shrinkage, parting, and the mold coordinate system (MCSYS).</p>
      <p class="para_topic">Part-specific operations are applied to the active part or related files. If you only have one part, then it is automatically the active part. If you have a family mold (more than one part in the mold), you make a part active by selecting the Family Mold button and then selecting the name of the active part in the Select Plastic Product dialog box. </p>
