3.5.4.2.5.2. Classify placement connection point

In order for a part to be able to be automatically placed, an adequate connection point has to be classified.

    Select the assembly table project (*asmtab.prj) and click the context menu command Open with PARTdesigner.

    -> The assembly configuration is opened.

    The figure shows the connection point intended for the placement.
