Destructing corner notches is typically only done when applying tooling for a
shear machine. When tooling parts for LP or Standalone equipment Destruct
will typically only be used for internal contours.
3. Select a square tool 0.75” (20mm)
4. Add tooling to destruct:
a. Top left corner notch- use mouse to draw window around two
internal lines of notch.
b. Bottom left notch- use mouse to draw window around two
internal lines of notch.
c. Bottom middle notch- use mouse to draw window around three
internal lines of notch.

extend outside the part external contour. This is because 0 (zero) was
set as Notch Expansion value.
6. Click Undo three times or until tooling is removed from the notches.
7. Change Notch Expansion- 0.25” (5mm)
8. Add tooling to notches once again.
