Geometric Constraints Toolbox

The tools in the Geometric Constraints toolbox are used to create geometric constraints.



All tools in a toolbox are not always visible by default. To see all tools, right-click in the toolbox and select Show All from the menu.

To Select in the Geometric Constraints toolbox
Constrain geometry to be tangent, perpendicular, parallel, or fix angle to horizontal or vertical.


Constrain Elements
Make a variable a constant or make a construction invariant (not recalculated when solving).


Make Construction or Parameter Invariant
Constrain a point (or the center of a circle or an ellipse) to lie on a construction.


Constrain Point On Construction
Constrain a point to the intersection of two constructions.


Constrain Point at Intersection
Constrain two points to be coincident, two circles to the same center, or a point to the center of a circle.


Constrain Two Points to be Coincident
Fix the location of a point in the design.


Fix Point at Location
Equate the endpoints of constructions.


Equate Parameters or Constructions
