Background

When we have multiple compatible joint types defined in schema then below dialog box is presented to user when making a connection.

As you can see the option for making selection a default joint is disabled by default. Follow the steps below to enable this option.

Steps to Follow

  1. In OPM, go to Workspace>Configuration.
  2. Click New button on the configuration dialog.

  3. Add the configuration variable as shown in the picture below:


    OPM_JOINTS_USE_DEFAULT_SELECTION=1

  4. Click OK and save the changes.
  5. Now again try to place the components which trigger the compatible joint selection dialog. You will see the option is now enabled and once it is toggled, selection will be remembered and the dialog won't pop up for the selected joint type.
