- Allow_Hole_to_Tube=<value>
- Allows identifying tube hole mates. Valid values are 0 and 1.
- Allow_mismatched_shapes=<value>
- Allows identifying mismatched holes. Valid values are 0 and 1 (default).
- Allow_Self=<value>
- Allows identifying mating holes within the same part/component. Valid values are 0 and 1.
- Center_CE=<value>
- Allows the connector to be created at the center of the two mating holes. Valid values are 0 and 1.
- Hole_Type=<value>
- The type of the hole to be identified as the mating hole.
- Lateral_Distance=<value>
- The lateral distance (default 1).
- Max_Angle=<value>
- The maximum lateral angle within which the mating holes should be identified.
- Max_Dia=<value>
- The maximum diameter of the hole considered for hole identification.
- Max_Distance=<value>
