Connector pairs - only one selection possbile

[K_Baker_89]

Hi,

Similar to the following idea by LukeDavenport:

https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/factory-design-utilities-ideas/connectors-ability-to-flip-toggle-dire...

I'm facing an issue whereby I need to allow an asset to connect at either 0 deg or 180 deg rotation. I've achieved this by placing two connectors to the asset, each with different alignment. This allows me to place the asset with the correct orientation. The problem I'm facing, is that once the asset is placed, the "spare" connector remains visible. Although this is not a major issue, it does make a large factory environment messy and can cause confusion when adding subsequent assets.

It would be useful to be able to "pair up" connectors, meaning that if connector A is used, connector B disappears (and vice versa).

I think that implementing either this idea, or the one posted by LukeDavenport will resolve both problems.

Thanks,

Kurt

Meanwhile you can rotate the direction of the connector axis trough a key parameter. This parameter should rotate a work plane with which the connector axis is linked. The benefit is that you won't need to reconnect the assets after changing from 0 to 180 degrees or reversed.
