Auxiliary Link
Connect two sequential or non-sequential points with a straight line. An auxiliary link is not part of the subassembly geometry, but other geometry can be created from it.
Properties
Specify the following parameters in the Properties panel.
| Link | |
| Link Number | Specifies the link number. You can change the automatically generated Link Number value. |
| ApplyAOR |
Specifies whether superelevation or cant will be applied to the link. Note: The ApplyAOR check box affects how the subassembly is previewed in the Subassembly Composer and how the subassembly behaves when it is used in Autodesk Subassembly Composer. You can use the Superelevation tab or the Cant tab to define values for previewing the superelevation or cant effect for the subassembly in the Preview panel. You can use the Input/Output Parameters tab to add parameters that are brought into Autodesk Subassembly Composer when the subassembly is imported.

| Position | |
| Start Point | Specifies the point from which the link starts. |
| End Point | Specifies the point at which the link ends. |
| Miscellaneous | |
| Comment | Indicates notes about the link. Comments can be displayed in the Preview panel. |
Example
To see an example of how this geometry element is used, open the following Sample PKT file:
Auxiliary Link Example.pkt
In the example, L1 is automatically drawn between points P1 and P2. L2 is a fillet arc, which must be drawn between two links. AL1 is not drawn in the final subassembly, but it is manually drawn between P1 and P3 so that L2 can use its geometry.
