Edit Constraint
Dialog Box Options
- Value
- Defines the value of the distance, angle, or radius, depending on which constraint type you are defining. This is a numerical value and it must be greater than 0. You can also enter the value as a numeric calculation, such as 360/8. The calculations available are the same as those in the Formula field.
- Formula
- Defines a variable or an expression for a distance, angle, or radius. Define the Formula Field
- Drives geometry
- When Drives geometry is selected, the constraint will function as a geometric constraint that can edit geometry. You can make a constraint a driven dimension by removing the selection Drives geometry. A driven dimension can not edit geometry, but variables or expressions can be assigned for it in the Formula field.Note: Driven dimensions defined in a 3D sketch can be used to create customer deliveries with parametric models (requires Vertex Flow).

- Active
- When Active is selected, the constraint is enabled. You can disable the constraint by removing the selection Active. When a constraint is disabled, you can, for example, drag a line fixed with the constraint in a sketch. You can re-enable the constraint by selecting Active again, and the line that was dragged will return to the position defined by the constraint, for example.
- Elements
- Defines the elements of the constraint. You can change, add or delete elements.Note: The program will not prevent you from selecting unfit elements. Make sure, that the constraint can be solved for the selected elements.
