The HyperXtrude interface in Manufacturing Solutions includes a Press Database that contains two presses. It also includes an easy-to-use editor for modifying and creating new presses. You can use the Press Database Editor to select a press for the model, add new presses to the database and edit existing presses in the database.

Note:Before you use the Press Database, set the HX_USER_PRS_DB environment variable to the directory in which your proprietary presses are stored. This is needed only if you have presses in your user area.

•The tabs on the right show the properties of the press selected in the tree.
