Connect Cavity

Interactively create connections between cavities.
If a connection is not possible without relocating the cavity, then MDTools^® automatically relocates the connecting cavity to the port center. In case of a bottom port, MDTools relocates the connecting cavity to the full diameter depth of the second cavity.
