6.9.3.2.1.1. General connection points

The parts created in PARTdesigner can be configured to assemblies with the Configurator.[63]In order for this to happen, the parts in PARTdesigner must be assigned precisely defined and named insertion and connection points .

Example:

A cuboid contains a boring into which a screw is to be inserted later (assembly configuration). Therefore a connection point needs to be applied for the boring.

  1. Click on the Face, in which the boring is to be applied. --> The according Sketch shows up in the History highlighted in color.

  2. Right-click on the context menu of the sketch (in this example, Sketch 2).

  3. Click on Edit....

  4. The 2-D Sketcher opens

  5. Click on the button Insert connection point .

  6. "Catch" the center of the circle (boring) with your cursor and affix it with a simple mouse-click.

    --> The point gets a green triangle symbol .

    --> The Change parameter window opens.

    Assign a name to the connection point - for example: CP1 - and confirm with OK.

    Optionally, you may make changes in the other fields as well.

  7. Click on the button Accept changes .

    --> The 2-D Sketcher closes.

    --> In the 3D view the connection point is also identified with a green triangle symbol .
