11 Click the Connection Axis tool, and then define the connection axis in
the graphics window.
12 Pause the cursor over the same circular edge that you selected for the
work point, and click to select. An arrow shows the axis direction.
TIP If the axis points toward the inside of the part, click the Flip Direction
tool. The connection direction must point toward the engaging fitting, so it
often points outward.
13 Ensure the Neutral check box is enabled. Neutral is automatically selected
when the Welded end treatment is set.
14 Specify the Engagement setting. For pipe parts, when connecting to the
adjacent fittings, the connection only applies to the engagement
definition of the adjacent fittings by default. Because any engagement
parameters specified for a pipe iPart are ignored by default for the
connection to the adjacent fittings, it is recommended that you set a
fixed value of 0 in such cases.
Max: Distance: 0 inch
Min % of Max: 0
NOTE If the engagement section is dimmed, a required setting, such as the
connection axis, was not yet set. You must complete all previous settings
before you can set engagement values.
The connection number button 1 should now be black, indicating that
all connection criteria are satisfied for Connection 1.
15 Click the connection number button 2 to begin defining the second
connection.
The parameter mapping is populated with information set for Connection
1. Since the nominal sizes are the same, you do not need to set it again.
