Smart Connections

Used to assign smart connection templates to selected joints. A "smart" connection template contains parametric rules defined in a macro which allows characteristics of the connection to be modified (within limits) in order to achieve code compliance. A joint selection set that is to use a Smart connection can only specify a single smart connection definition.

Opens when Connection Design >  Assign Smart Connections is selected.

Note: The definition of each connection template and the order in which they occur, are defined in a database which can be displayed and/or modified from the Connection Design menu. See the RAM Connection manual for more information on editing the connection database.
