      <p class="para_division">You can use the Standard Parts approach for creation of workpieces, sub-inserts, and electrodes. The added benefit of using a standard part is that subcomponents may be attached and pocket-cutting bodies may be included with detailed features.</p>
      <p class="para_division">The Standard Parts library contains a catalog named ELECTRODE. This electrode catalog contains a cavity and core electrode.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Positioning</div>
      <p class="para_division">The position of the electrodes are parametrically controlled relative to the Product Model Mold Coordinate system, MCSYS. If you set the MCSYS to the center of the product model, the position of the insert will also be positioned relative to the center of the product.</p>
      <p class="para_division">Standard Parts as Electrodes are similar to Standard Parts as Sub-Inserts and Workpieces. The cavity or core shape is applied to the electrode though the use of the mold-trim function.</p>
