Add a new connector

  1. Place an occurrence of the connector 900356.ipt. Place the occurrence as shown.
    Tip: Drag one of the existing occurrences from the browser into the graphics window to create another occurrence, instead of using the Place command.
  2. From the Position panel of the Assemble tab, use Grip Snap or Move and Rotate to approximate the position of the connector. Face the pins on the connector toward the front of the seat.

    Normally you use assembly constraints to position and constrain the component, but it is not necessary for this exercise.
