The built-in connectivity tools ensure that objects are properly connected and that adjacent objects are updated accordingly. Connectivity tools also promote the precision of the sizing and calculation tools.
You use the Show Connected Run command to verify the connectivity in a duct, pipe, plumbing line, conduit, cable tray, or wired electrical run. This functionality is especially useful with complicated designs.
You use the Show Connected Objects command to identify the other objects that are connected to a particular object. The software verifies that adjacent parts are properly connected and that connectivity is continuous throughout the run or branches. In the Electrical workspace, the Show Connected Objects command checks the connectivity between the lighting devices, wires, junction boxes, and switches in a lighting network, as well as between MvParts and conduit or cable tray runs.
