General settings
Members are automatically connected by default as soon as they cross each other when placed. The corresponding setting can be found in the 'Program Options & Settings' dialog box, which you can call up on the Options menu or with the
button. The connection is set up by internal nodes of the
On Member
type. This way, the members are kept.
You can also use the View (1) menu or the general shortcut menu (2) to control whether the members being placed are to be divided or connected at the common node.
'Connect' function
To connect crossing members subsequently, use the Connect function on the Tools menu or the
button in the toolbar.
You can also connect members without selecting them beforehand. Go into the work window and draw a window across the zone where you want to connect the members. It is not necessary to completely capture the objects.
