9.5.3. RMB Menu Options

This section describes the available options when you right-click the 1D Connection Group object in the tree Outline.

  • Detect Hole Pairs: Once the geometry is scoped and properties under Detection Options are defined, this option is used to detect reference/mobile (or contact/target) pairs. After detection, in the Details pane of 1D Connection Group, the Hole Pair Count property will display the number of hole pairs detected. If the Display Hole Pair property is set to Yes, these hole pairs will be visible in the model.

  • Create Automatic Connections: Automatically generates supported connections between detected hole pairs.

  • Clear Generated Connections: Deletes all the connection objects generated by the corresponding 1D Connection Group.

  • Promote and Release: Promotes all the connection objects generated by the 1D Connection Group to the Outline tree under Connections and deletes the 1D Connection Group object. These connections will be converted to usual Mechanical objects. Their association with 1D Connection Group folder and the associated worksheet will be deleted. Use this option only when you do not want to manage the connection objects using the 1D Connection Group folder or worksheet.
