Creating a Connection Point

  1. Create a sketch point to use for locating the connection point. The location of the connection point defines the end of the adjoining routing segment.

    The location of the connection point defines the end of the adjoining routing segment; that is, the point where the pipe, tube or wiring begins or ends.

  2. Click Create Connection Point (Routing Tools toolbar) or Routing > Routing Tools > Create Connection Point.

    To create a connection point on a cylindrical feature, select the flat face of the feature. You do not need to create a sketch point first.

    The Connection Point PropertyManager appears.

  3. Edit properties in the PropertyManager.
  4. Click PM_OK.gif.
Important: Repeat this process for fittings that support multiple CPoints, and for assemblies that need assembly connection points (ACPoint).
