Add a Distance Constraint

Piping Design

Add geometric constraints between parts. For example, add a distance constraint between the center lines of pipes, or between a pipe center line and some other building component.

  1. Select Modeling | Connection | Distance.
  2. Select a line or a point.
  3. Select the next element: a line or a point.
  4. Select the location of the distance measurement.
  5. Define the constraint data in the dialog box:
    • Enter the distance in the Value field.
    • The checkbox Drives geometry is selected by default. If the checkbox is empty, the dimension will be added as a regular dimension.
  6. Confirm by clicking OK.

Note

  • The program adds the dimension constraints on the layer 92 Dimension Constraints by default.
