  • The Edit Intersection ribbon is available when you select any root logical connections between two plate systems. However, the ribbon is not available for logical connections between a plate and a profile. Only the Invert option is available from the short-cut menu.

  • The software does not support splitting the logical connection between a profile and a plate.

Logical Connection Properties

Opens the Logical Connection Properties Dialog, which you use to modify connection properties.

 Define Region

Select one or more objects that intersect the logical connection to define region boundaries. You can select objects such as reference planes, reference curves, seams, and points. If no objects are selected, then the logical connection has one region.

 Select and Edit Region

Select a region to edit.

Finish

Adds the regions and offsets to the logical connection.

Cancel

Clears all selected objects.

Accept

Accepts all selected objects.

Invert

Reverses the connection relationship (continuous versus intercostal) between the systems in the selected region. An arrow in the direction of the continuous system appears in a graphic view.

  • The Invert option can simultaneously invert multiple logical connections when each connection has only one region. If any of the selected logical connections have multiple regions, the invert operation fails with an error message.

  • If a single logical connection is selected to be inverted and it has only one region, the region is automatically selected for the invert operation.

  • For logical connections between a plate and a profile, only the Invert option is available from the short-cut menu.

Offset

Specifies a value to extend the continuous system beyond the intercostal system. Available when at least one of the systems is bounded to the other.

The offset does not apply to the logical connection between a profile and a plate.
