Editing Dimension Constraint Properties

You can edit the properties of dimension constraints in the same way as the properties of regular dimensions: by selecting properties on the Properties tab.

The default dimension style of dimension constraints is Constraints. It is a pre-defined property set, which defines the properties color, layer, line width, font and height. You can edit all the other properties of a dimension constraint except color, which is always blue.

  1. Select the dimension constraint to be edited in the drawing in one of the following ways:
    • Click one dimension constraint.
    • Click several dimension constraints by holding down the Ctrl key.
    • Select one dimension constraint, and then select all dimension constraints by pressing Ctrl+A.
    • Lock the Dimensions object type, and select the dimension constraints by using an area selection. In this case, regular dimensions are also selected.
  2. Edit properties on the Properties tab:
    • If the selected dimension constraints have a similar value of a property, it is displayed in the field on the tab. If you change the value, the change will affect all the selected dimension constraints.
    • If the selected dimension constraints have a different value of a property, the field is empty. If you leave the field empty, the properties of the dimension constraints will remain the same. If you enter a value in the field, it will affect all the selected dimension constraints.

The default layer of dimension constraints is 92 Dimension Constraints. You can hide the dimension constraints from a drawing by hiding the layer in question.
