Connect the Sub-component

The user can link the two sub-components together, the linked components have the same position and orientation. Common parameter values are also the same and can be used to align holes in different components or to align a door with an opening for example.

There are two ways to select the sub-component to be connected:

• Enter the name of the sub-component in the Connect field.

• Pick the sub-component in the graphical view using Pick connection.

The position and orientation are modified to suit the selected sub-component. If the selected sub-component is already linked there are several options. The user may choose to replace the link (Yes) or just copy the position, orientation and parameters of the selected sub‑component (No) or do nothing (Cancel).
