Connections Based on Design Variants

The dialogue for the fitting of Design Variants-based connections is, more or less, similar for all functions (exceptions are the Cross-bracing (9501), End plate (1102) and Vertical ladder. Before using the connection functions, we recommend to read the notes given in the chapters Insert Connections - Procedure and Dialogue Window for Connections.
