HI All,

I may be missing something obvious here.... But is there a way to save steel connection parameters and apply it to multiple connections? I'm trying to put base plates on columns and they're all going to be the same. So far I'm finding that I have to edit the parameters of each one individually to get the size, thickness and bolt spacing I need. Would be helpful to be able to do one then apply it to the other connection instances.

There is not a way to specify default parameters for connections.
There is also no way to take parameters from on instance of a connection to another instance.
The easiest way to create identical connections is to create one, set the parameters the way that you want them, and then copy the connection to the other locations where it will occur.
