Using this option, you can copy all types of connections defined in Autodesk AutoCAD Structural Detailing. Copying comprises all the elements of a connection.
To define a connection:
- Click the Copy connection option
. - In the drawing area, select the connection to be copied.
- Select the profiles to which the selected connection will be ascribed. If all profiles in the structure model are selected, the software will find all the profiles that can be ascribed the selected connection.
- Press Enter.
A connection will be copied if the following conditions (for profiles in the copied connection and profiles where the connection will be copied) are satisfied:
- Target profiles are identical to those in the indicated connection
- Mutual orientation of profiles is identical to that in the indicated connection
Note: If a connection involves machining operations that you have defined manually, they are deleted from the elements of this connection when regenerating this connection.
