Understanding the Connect Constraint

The connect relationship forces a point on an object to be coincident with a point on another object, such as a piece of equipment, structure, piping part, or arbitrary coordinate in space. The software adds the connect relationship to the relationship list only if the two points connected are both nozzles. Otherwise, the two points are made coincident, but no relationship is saved to the database. Offsets are disabled when establishing a connect relationship.

Press F3 to turn on or off the Surface Locate option. This option makes it easier to create Connect relationships.
