Generally, as you draw a cable tray or conduit run, the software adds fittings based on the default fittings specified in the cable tray or conduit preferences. However, you can also add cable tray or conduit fittings manually. You can add a fitting to an existing segment or run. You can also start a segment or run from a fitting, or customize the connection to an MvPart.
