To Create Connections for a Sketched Thin Beam Section
For this procedure you must first sketch a beam section with at least one open chain or unconnected line segments. You must also assign thickness values to the entities between which you want to create a connection.
1. Click Sketch > Point to create construction points at locations on both entities where you want to create connections.
2. Click File > Setup > Feature Tools > Connect.
3. Hold down the CTRL key and select the following entities:
◦ A construction point
◦ The entity on which the point lies
◦ The entity to which you want to connect
The selected entities are highlighted.
4. Click OK on the Select dialog box. If the connection is successfully created, a filled green dot appears at the connection point. A green line connects the two entities.
 
* To create a connection between two entities the following relation must be satisfied:
* [(t1+t2)/2]*0.9≤d≤[(t1+t2)/2]*1.1
* where t1 and t2 are the thickness values of the two entities. d is the distance between them.
To delete a connection select it and press the delete key on your keyboard.
