Category in Advanced options dialog: Components

By default, connections 141, 146, 147, 149, 181, 184, 185, 186, and 187 create all shear tabs on the same side of the main part if the main part has several connections (global positioning). Set this advanced option to TRUE to position each shear tab according to which end of the main part the connection that creates it is closest to (local positioning). The default value is FALSE.

This advanced option is model specific and the setting is saved in the options database. Reopen the model to activate the new value.
