Propagate a Connection

Easily propagate a connection in the current model.

The propagation tool recreates a connection in all the identical situations within the model. Such situations include:

These conditions are treated together and cannot be edited or ignored individually.

To propagate a connection:
  1. Select a connection in the model.
  2. Right-click and select Propagate Joint from the contextual menu.

The original connection and the results of the propagation are joined in a single group of connections. The original connection will be the master connection.

If the result of the propagation is null (no connection is created), then no new group is created.

If a grouped connection is propagated, the results of the propagation will be part of the same group as the original connection. The master of this group will remain the same.

The propagation tool is applicable only for visible elements. Hidden elements are not taken into count when analyzing the applicable cases.

Unsupported connections:

The propagation tool does not take into account if the elements are physically connected. It has a tolerance of a value equal to the maximum height of the connected input elements, based on which it considers the elements to be close enough to be part of a case. For each case, the order of the input elements is analyzed using all the combinations between them. The first valid combination found in this analysis is used to create the connection.
