Either Select the iConnect Module or the iPost Module:
Either Select the iConnect Module or the iPost Module:
In the iBIM Connector window, click on the "Home" button
Select "iConnect" or "iPost"
Navigate to the "Create" tab and click on the "Create iPost" button links on the ribbon
Specify a title and description in the pop-up window of the iPost
Link the iPost to an element in Relatics by selecting the appropriate instance in the dropdown list (this step is optional)
Validate by clicking OK
To make sure you selected the correct element (eg if several instances have the same name), click on the "Zoom to" button
The CAD software will center its current view on the selected element
If you have linked the iPost to a Relatics element, the iBIM connector will automatically place the iPost marker (a green sphere) on the CAD drawing.
If you have not linked the iPost to a Relatics element or if you want to place the marker on another spot on the CAD drawing, click on the "Pick" button
As a result the connector window minimizes and let you indicate (by clicking) the appropriate spot for the marker on the CAD drawing
The iBIM connector picks automatically the corresponding coordinate and reopens the Create iPost window
Validate by clicking on OK
The marker is created and added to the CAD drawing
