Constraints
2D
Setting |
Description |
Auto Constrain |
Identifies the existing constraints and relationships implied by the construction of the geometry, and highlights them. |
Parallel |
Used to apply parallel constraint between two linear segments or ellipses. |
Perpendicular |
Used to apply perpendicular constraint between two linear segments or entities. |
Coincident |
Used to constrain linear or circular segments or vertices in such a way that they pass through a single point. |
Tangent |
Used to constrain curves to be tangent to other curves or linear segments. |
Fixed |
Fixes the end points and direction of a linear segment or the center point of a circular element to its current position in the plane. |
Concentric |
Used to constrain arcs, circles, ellipses, or vertices to have the same center point. |
Equal |
Used to constrain the length of linear segments or entities and radii of circular segments or entities to resize to the same measurement. |
Show DOF |
Used to display the number of linear and rotary movements, a profile element is free to take, along x, y or z axis. |
Remove All |
Used to remove all geometric and dimensional constraints from a selected element. |
Dimensional
Setting |
Description |
By Element |
Used to add a dimension to a profile element. |
Distance |
Used to constrain the distance between two profile elements or between the two end points of a profile to a set value. |
Angle |
Used to constrain the angle between two segments to a fixed value. |
Equal Distance |
Used to make the perpendicular distance between three or more co-planar profile segments equal. |
Area |
Used to constrain the area of a geometry. |
Parameter |
Used to constrain the perimeter of a geometry. |
Variables |
Used to create and manage variables and variations for the active model. |
3D
Setting |
Description |
Parallel |
Used to apply parallel constraint between the edges or faces of two 3D elements. |
Perpendicular |
Used to apply perpendicular constraint between the edges or faces of two 3D elements. |
Coincident |
Used to constrain the faces, edges or vertices of 3D elements to be coincident. |
Tangent |
Used to constrain a circular 3D element to be tangent to other circular or rectangular 3D elements. |
Fixed |
Used to fix the linear and rotary movement of a 3D element. |
Concentric |
Used to constrain the faces, edges, or vertices of two 3D elements to be concentric. |
3D Dimension |
Used to constrain the distance between the vertices, edges, or faces of one 3D element to another 3D element's vertices, edges, or faces. |
Manipulate 3D Constraint |
Used to modify the constrained vertices, edges, or faces of a 3D element. |
3D Angle |
Used to apply angular constraint between two 3D elements. |
