Hi dear experts, could you, please, tell which of the two sentences sounds better:

1. " The basic methods have been considered for defining of connections between components in CAD/CAM systems."

2. " " The basic methods for defining of connections between components in CAD/CAM systems have been considered "

Hi dear experts, could you, please, tell which of the two sentences sounds better:

1. " The basic methods have been considered for defining of connections between components in CAD/CAM systems."

2. " " The basic methods for defining of connections between components in CAD/CAM systems have been considered "

2 sounds much better, but it should say '...for defining (the) connections...'.
