Defining Geometry |
Selects the position and orientation of the connector. Use the Select command to pick the face on the Autodesk Inventor component where you intend to place and position the cable tray connector. The location of the cable connector appears as a cylindrical arrow on the selected part or assembly. Important: Connectors glyphs are similar to assembly mate constraints in that they indicate a mating face or plane. They do not indicate flow direction. Typically, connectors point away from the host component. Use the Direction command to reverse connector direction.
