Cooling Channel Metric Threads
You can use metric threads in the cooling channel. To 
list the tapered thread options, select Taper Thread. 
To list straight thread options, clear the check box for 
Taper Thread. To modify the available sizes and set the 
default selections, edit the Thread.xls file.
Surface Patches with Sketch Geometry and 
Silhouette Curve
You can use any combination of D or D sketch 
geometry and silhouette curves to create surface 
patches.
To generate a silhouette curve, start the patching 
surface command and select a face where no edge 
exists. The curve is used with D or D sketch geometry 
to create a surface patch.
Runoff Surface with Sketch Geometry and 
Silhouette Curve
You can use any combination of D or D sketch 
geometry and silhouette curves to create runoff 
surfaces. To generate a silhouette curve, start the runoff 
surface command and select a face where no edge 
exists. The curve is used with D or D sketch geometry 
to create a runoff surface.
Patching and Runoff Surface Color
You can control the color of patching and runoff 
surfaces. Before you create the core/cavity, right-click a 
browser entry, select Change Display Color, and set the 
individual or group surface color. The assigned colors 
persist when you create the core/cavity.
