This function allows the user to create single or multiple binders. After the binder is created, the text color of the create tab changes from red to black. The user can create several types of binder described below, as illustrated in Figure 7.2.2.

Figure 7.2.2  Binder Type

1.       FLAT BINDER

Use a flat rectangular surface to define the binder shape.

2.       CONICAL BINDER

Use a conical surface with two radii to define the binder shape.

3.       TWO-LINE BINDER

Use two orthogonal cross lines to define the binder shape.

4.       BOUNDARY LINE BINDER

Use the part boundary line or user-selected/created line to define the binder.

5.       FREE FORM BINDER

Use the binder section lines from selected locations on the screen to define the binder.

The above mentioned types of binders can be regarded as Outer Binder and Inner Binder at the same time.

Figure 7.2.3  Outer Binder and Inner Binder

l    OUTER BINDER

The generated binders are outer binders by default.

l    INNER BINDER

This option is enabled if there are holes on the inner part. After selecting Inner Binder as illustrated in Figure 7.2.3 and clicking Create, eta/DYNAFORM will automatically generate inner binder. As illustrated in Figure 7.2.4, create an inner binder at the front door of side frame.
