Displays properties for structural physical connections. A structural physical connection defines the connection between a two parts. You can manually create connections between part types such as detailed plate parts, detailed profile parts, member parts, slabs, walls, or any combination of these parts.

The order in which the properties display in your view depends on your configuration.

Approval State

Specifies the status of the selected object or filter. Changing this property sets the Status. The display depends on your access level. You might be unable to change the status of the object. The list is defined by the ApprovalStatus codelist.
