To Reset Pipe Network Connection Points

After you lay out a pipe network, you can reset the connection points so that the pipes connect to different point on the structures.

Note: To use the Default Connection Point and Closest Connection Point options, the structures must have connection points defined for them. See Pipe Network Content with Connection Points and Grips for information about parts which have connection points defined for them. You can also add connection points to custom parts by using the Infrastructure Parts Shape Utilities tools in Autodesk Inventor. For more information, see To add reference points.
