Auxiliary Link

Auxiliary Link

Connect two sequential or non-sequential points with a straight line. An auxiliary link is not part of the subassembly geometry, but other geometry can be created from it.

Properties

Specify the following parameters in the Properties panel.

Link
Link Number	Specifies the link number. You can change the automatically generated Link Number value.
Position
Start Point	Specifies the point from which the link starts. Note: The point may be either a Point or an Auxiliary Point.
End Point	Specifies the point at which the link ends. Note: The point may be either a Point or an Auxiliary Point.
Miscellaneous
Comment	Indicates notes about the link. Comments can be displayed in the Preview panel.

Example

To see an example of how this geometry element is used, open the following Sample PKT file:

In the example, L1 is automatically drawn between points P1 and P2. L2 is a fillet arc, which must be drawn between two links. AL1 is not drawn in the final subassembly, but it is manually drawn between P1 and P3 so that L2 can use its geometry.
