Create a connection between two cavities by using an
angular drill. MDTools® creates
an angular drill at the appropriate angle to make the best possible connection
between two selected cavities.

The Angular Connection dialog box displays.
2. Select Cavity1.
Select the cavity from which you want to make an angle drill.
3. Select the Port of Cavity1.
Select the port of Cavity1, which you want to connect with Cavity2.
4. Select the Cavity2 button.
Select Cavity2 to which Cavity1 is to be connected by an angle drill.

8. Enter Expected Diameter.
If possible, MDTools create the angle hole with the specified diameter. Otherwise, it displays the maximum possible diameter.
9. Enter Cavity ID.
10. Click Create Hole.
If there is a possibility of an angular connection between the selected ports of the selected cavities, then a dialog box displays the maximum possible diameter for the angular hole. Otherwise, another dialog box displays with a message, ‘Cannot Connect Ports’
11. Click Yes.
MDTools automatically creates an angular connection between the selected cavity ports.

Note
§ Change the diameter to accommodate the flow for the connection, if required.
§ Diameter of the connecting angular drill cannot be changed to a value greater than the calculated diameter.
§ Angular connection can only be created between cavities located on the same face or on perpendicular faces.
§ Cavities located on opposite faces cannot be connected using the Angular Connection command.
§ Set the required default option in the MDTools® Settings dialog box.
§ MDTools displays the preview of connecting cavity ,when depth of connecting cavity changes for Angular connection.
