4.3.10.4. Align connector, Open connection dialog (SuCri3ShowSelectConnection)
On this page
Overview
You control the orientation of a connector via the location of your mouse click when selecting the main profile. There is no separate setting for this: If you click the main profile on the left, the leg of the connector is aligned to the left; if you click on the right, it is aligned to the right.
Where can I find the function?
Part of the connection creation in the connection dialog (SuCri tab, Module 3 group, Connections button, or command SuCri3ShowSelectConnection).
Step by step
- Start the connection dialog and select the connection type, for example Collision (T).
- Click the main profile on the side towards which the leg of the connector should point.
- Select the profile to be connected.
- Select the connector from the list. The leg points towards the clicked side.
- If it should point towards the other side, create the connection again and click the main profile on the other side.
Video: Align connector in practice
How it works in detail
The video shows this using the T connection: If the main profile is clicked on the left in the image and the second profile is selected afterwards, the leg is aligned to the left. The same process with a click on the right aligns it to the right. The selection of the connector is not affected by this; only its position changes.
Tips and best practices
- Think before you click: The side is decided when you click the main profile.
- Consider the assembly direction: Choose the side so that the connector is easily accessible later.
Troubleshooting
- Connector points to the wrong side: Delete the connection via the connection box (SuCri Connection > Delete) and create it again with a click on the desired side.
