I've gone through the trouble of creating a master model of amold (I work in injection molding) with my plate separations andsizes. I used the split command to split up my singular bodyrepresenting the mold envelope and saved out the bodies as myplates.
In my .prtdot I have altered the default views and planes so thatmy XY plane represents my bottom platen (Z points "up", Y pointsaway from the operator, Front Plane/View represents operatorviewing the mold in press). I have created my master model withthis template. When I split the parts and save out the bodies (myplates) as part files they seem to use the default SW .prtdot asthe template. Why isn't this driven by my master model or the ONLY.prtdot template I have in my specified document templateslocations??
This is highly annoying as now I can't just drop my parts into myassembly using defualt positioning by origin. Any ideas??SolidworksParts And Features
