Convert Style

Convert connectors of one specific style into a different style, for example a spot connector into a bolt connector using the Convert option.

Before you begin, define Convert Settings.
Highlight the connector(s) you want to convert, then right-click and select Convert > Style (spot, bolt, seamline) from the context menu.

The converted connector(s) will be unrealized and placed in the Undefined folder. Once you convert a connector, you will not be able to revert it back to its original state. The only information that will be retained includes: number of layers, tolerance, and link information.
