Conduit Connector reference

Defines, places, and orients a conduit connector.

This connector command defines, places, and orients a conduit connector on an Autodesk Inventor part or assembly for use with AutoCAD MEP or Revit MEP. BIM Exchange calculates the position of a connector based on its defining geometry.

Access
Ribbon: BIM Exchange tab Author panel Conduit Connector

Shape

Determines the shape of the connector. If Undefined is selected, any oval, circular, or rectangular face is a valid selection.

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.

Use the Direction command to pick the direction that is normal for the conduit connector when it is placed.

Size

To specify a connector diameter, clear the check mark on the Inferred checkbox. In the Diameter box, enter numeric data.

If the Inferred box is checked, the diameter is linked to the size of the selected face.
