"Connect" Section

This section describes the connection points of the object.
Since an object may have no connection points, this section may be missing in the table.

To add the Connect section to the table:

1. Apply the Insert Sections command from the Edit menu or from the context menu in the table window.
   The Insert Section dialog will come up.
2. In the dialog, choose the Connection Points option and click OK.
   The Connect section will be added to the table. It will have one row (for describing one connection point).

Sometimes it may be possible that the Connect section already exists in the table, but is not visible.
The View Sections dialog lets you show/hide the table sections.

To show the Connect section:

1. Apply the View Sections command from the Edit menu or from the context menu in the table window.
   The View Sections dialog will come up.
2. In the dialog, check the Connection Points option and click OK.

The Connect section will appear in the table. It displays information about the connection points of the object.

To add a connection point:

1. Use the Add Row command from the Edit menu or from the context menu in the table window.
2. A new row describing a connection point will be added to the end of the section. Then you can set its parameters.

To delete a connection point:

1. Activate the row describing the connection point you want to delete (just select any of its cells).
2. Use the Delete Row command from the Edit menu or from the context menu for the row.

The row describing that connection point will be removed. Removing the last connection point removes the whole section.

All parameters in the Connect section refer to the coordinate system of the object.

X

This field describes the X offset of the connection point.
In the Formulas mode, you see the data in tenths of millimeters, in the Values mode the data is displayed in the current unit of measure.

Y

This field describes the Y offset of the connection point.
In the Formulas mode, you see the data in tenths of millimeters, in the Values mode the data is displayed in the current unit of measure.

Coordinates of connection points are specified in the formulas as follows:

[<shape_name>.]Connect.X<connection_point_number>
[<shape_name>.]Connect.Y<connection_point_number>
