Dimensional Constraints - Parametric Design

Dimensional Constraints are parametric
They drive the object's size, distance, angle
They can be changed anytime causing the features to update automatically

Changes the dimensional value, the position of object move accordingly

Assign Dimensional Constraints

Apply geometrical constraints on the objects
Parametric tab > Dimensional panel

Linear
Constraints the horizontal or vertical distance between 2 points

Horizontal
Constraints X distance between 2 points or objects

Vertical
Constraints Y distance between 2 points or objects

Aligned
Constraints distance between 2 points on an object or on 2 different objects

Radius
Constraints the radius of a circle or arc

Diameter
Constraints the diameter of a circle or arc

Angle
Constraints the angle between 2 lines, polyline segments, or between 3 points (Vertex then angle constraint points)

Convert Dimensions to Constraints

Parametric tab > Dimensional panel > Convert

Dimensional Constraints are dynamic
They display at the same size when you zoom, and not plot

You can change Dynamic constraints to Annotational constraint

Annotation Constraints take on Annotation Scale and Dimension Style

Constraint Settings

Parametric tab > Dimensional panel - small arrow - Constraint Settings



Instead of display both Name & Value, you can select to display Name or value only
