Hi all,
I have built a mold to pour polyurethane into. Now I want to see how the part will look like. Is there not a way to take the mold & reverse it so to speak? I want what the mold produces. TIA.

Pat,
Use the Cavity function. Put your mold in an assembly. Make a new part that is a block slightly larger than the cavity in your mold. Then insert a cavity feature into your new part, selecting your mold. You can set the shrinkage to get the final part size that you expect for your material.
