To Establish a Connection while Creating a Surface
1. Make sure that the Surface tab is open.
2. Move the pointer over a connection symbol, right-click, and choose a connection type from the shortcut menu:
G0 - Position
G1 - Tangent—Available only when the boundary has a neighbor.
G2 - Curvature—Available only when the boundary has a neighbor.
G3 - Acceleration—Available only when the boundary has a neighbor, and when the surfaces are boundary surfaces or loft surfaces.
Normal—Available only for a planar boundary.
Draft
If you choose G0 - Position or Normal, the connection is created.
3. If you choose Draft, select a draft reference. The connection is created with a default draft angle of 10 degrees.
4. To change the draft angle, double-click the value, type a new one, and press ENTER. The draft angle is modified.
5. To add or change the reference for a surface connection:
a. Click the Constraints tab.
b. In the Connection table, select the row of the connection to edit.
c. Click the Connection reference collector to activate it, and select a surface or plane reference.
d. If needed, click to reverse the connection:
G0, G1, G2, and G3 connections—Switches between the follower surface and the leader surface, so the leader will be the follower, and the follower will be the leader.
Normal connections—Reverses the normal direction.
Surface connections cannot be edited in Reparameterization mode.
6. Click OK.
