Constraints

Dimension and constraint tools are available to help manage the geometric relationships between 2D shapes. These relationships are used to remember design intent of 2D sketches, which typically drive 3D solids. Modifying any object within a system of constraints will update all other dependent objects accordingly.

The Constraints tool palette contains a variety of constraint types, including distance, radius, diameter, coincident, tangent, horizontal, vertical, perpendicular, offset, concentric, parallel, equal, collinear, and symmetry.
