1. In a layout drawing, on the Diemaking tab, click Create Die Contours .

2. To define the stripping area, click inside a contour.

1. • In the female stripping die, the stripping area is defined by a contour made up of the combined areas of the packaging boxes on the sheet. To define this stripping area, click inside a contour. After all individual areas have been clicked, they produce a single contour. If areas in red hatch appear (pictured), this means that they are unconnected to the gripper stripping area. They must be connected to it.
   • It is recommended that the Repeat Changes button is pressed in.

3. Link the unclosed contours (see the video).

4. On the Diemaking tab, click Generate Stripping Dies .

The Stripping Dies Generation Options dialog box appears.
