Customize Default Connections in StyleWhat is the benefit of this enhancement?
From Style Preferences dialog box you can customize the default connection for newly created surfaces. You can select or clear the Tangent or Normal check boxes to make the default connection tangent, normal, or both. This provides you with predictable connections for newly created surfaces. When selecting both connections, the connection is based on the connection references for the newly created surface.
This enhancement provides the benefits listed below:
• Control the individual type of default connections within Style
• Increase productivity
• More easily determine a failure if a reference is lost
