Requirements for Using Backshells

When you use backshells, there are several requirements.

To use a component as backshell:

You must add one axis for the alignment with the route.
You must mate the backshell with the connector.

Search 'Requirements for Using Backshells' in the SOLIDWORKS Knowledge Base.
