Automatic Reconnect (Tools Menu) - Intergraph Smart 3D - Help - Hexagon

Tools > Automatic Reconnect changes a boundary, plane, or coordinate system from one object to another. You most commonly use Automatic Reconnect after you copy, move, or mirror systems (including Model Data Reuse and Model Data Transform operations in the Project Management task).

• Boundary/Plane Tab: Boundary/Plane is not included in the copy (by selecting Edit > Paste > Delete Optional). These copy operations replace the boundary with a standalone plane boundary. After the copy, you can replace the standalone plane with a new Boundary/Plane by using Tools > Automatic Reconnect. You can also make other boundary changes, such as changing the boundary of a plate system from a reference plane to a plate system, or from one seam to another seam.

• Coordinate System Tab: Coordinate System is included along with other objects in the Copy/Model Data Reuse operation. After the copy, you can reconnect the objects from one coordinate system to another.
