Forced Component Connection

Model Reference Manual

This operates exactly as the CONNECT command, but ignores Connection and Bore compatibility. The Component will be shown fully positioned, but data consistency checking will still report incompatible connections unless the items are moved apart later.


Examples:
FCONN	The Arrive p-point of the Component is force-connected to the Leave p-point of the previous Component.
FCONN TO TAIL	The Leave p-point of the Component is force-connected to the Tail.
FCONN AND P3 IS U	As first example and the off-line p-point is oriented upwards.

Note:

Only adjacent Components (not Attachment Points) may be force-connected. No check on compatibility of bore or Connection Type occurs.
