Figure 19.14 Using the parameter Center Mark Visible
While you're in sketch mode, the center mark allows you to align and lock
the sketch to reference planes or lines used to control the geometry location,
as shown in Figure 19.15 .
Pin It
To hold the location of connector geometry, you can pin it in place
instead of using dimensional constraints. Connectors themselves can be
pinned if no geometry is used for their location. Pinning a connector
will have no effect on its ability to change size parametrically.

With the geometry in place, a connector can be added by using the Face
option for placement.
You can adjust the connector properties to associate the size of the
connector with the parameter created for the geometry diameter, as shown
in Figure 19.16 . Associating the values to parameters in this way is known
as parameter mapping . Parameter mapping allows you to make connector
parameters visible and accessible in project environments.
