Situation	Description
	Tube profile connected to a plate with strips

Select the main part.
Select the secondary part.

The connection is created automatically when the secondary part is selected.


	Description
1	Strip to the main part
2	Strip to the secondary part

Use the Picture tab to define the connection dimensions.


	Description	Default
1	Length of the strip part that is cutting the plate	`100 mm`
2	Distance between the plate and the beam
3	Length of the strip part that is cutting the beam	`100 mm`
4	Vertical position of the strip from the centre line of the secondary part	`0`

Use the Parts tab to define the part properties.


Option	Description
Strip to primary	Thickness, width, and height of the strip
Strip to secondary	Thickness, width, and height of the strip


Option	Description	Default
Pos_No	Prefix and start number for the part position number. Some components have a second row of fields where you can enter the assembly position number.	The default part start number is defined in the Components settings in File menu > Settings > Options.
Material	Material grade.	The default material is defined in the Part material box in the Components settings in File menu > Settings > Options.
Name	Name that is shown in drawings and reports.

Use the Bolts tab to define the bolt group dimensions and bolt properties.


	Description
1	Dimension for horizontal bolt group position.
2	Left: From the left edge of the secondary part to the leftmost bolt. Middle: From the center line of the secondary part to the center line of the bolts. Right: From the right edge of the secondary part to the rightmost bolt.
3	Bolt edge distance. Edge distance is the distance from the center of a bolt to the edge of the part.
4	Number of bolts.
5	Bolt spacing. Use a space to separate bolt spacing values. Enter a value for each space between bolts. For example, if there are 3 bolts, enter 2 values.
6	Dimension for vertical bolt group position.
7	Select how to measure the dimensions for vertical bolt group position. Top: From the upper edge of the secondary part to the uppermost bolt. Middle: From the center line of the bolts to the center line of the secondary part. Below: From the lower edge of the secondary part to the lowest bolt.


Option	Description	Default
Bolt size	Bolt diameter.	Available sizes are defined in the bolt assembly catalog.
Bolt standard	Bolt standard to be used inside the component.	Available standards are defined in the bolt assembly catalog.
Tolerance	Gap between the bolt and the hole.
Thread in mat	Defines whether the thread may be within the bolted parts when bolts are used with a shaft. This has no effect when full-threaded bolts are used.	`Yes`
Site/Workshop	Location where the bolts should be attached.	`Site`

You can define slotted, oversized, or tapped holes.


Option	Description	Default
1	Vertical dimension of slotted hole.	`0`, which results in a round hole.
2	Horizontal dimension of slotted hole, or allowance for oversized holes.	`0`, which results in a round hole.
Hole type	Slotted creates slotted holes. Oversized creates oversized holes. No hole does not create holes. Tapped creates tapped holes.
Rotate Slots	When the hole type is Slotted, this option rotates the slotted holes.
Slots in	Part(s) in which slotted holes are created. The options depend on the component in question.
