Add a Radius Constraint

General

  • A radius constraint can be added to a circle and arc.
  • A radius constraint can be added to several circles and arcs at once.

Add a radius constraint to a 3D sketch

  1. Select 3D Sketch | Constraints | Add radius constraint or
    • select the context-sensitive function Constraints > Radius
  2. Select a circle or an arc.
  3. Click the position of the dimension.
    • The program opens the dialog box Edit Constraint.
  4. Edit the data in the Edit Constraint dialog box.
    • Edit Constraint.
    • At least check the value of the dimension.
    • Add a formula, if you want to control the geometry with a dimension table.
  5. Select OK.
  6. Repeat steps 2 to 5 to add new radius constraints
  7. Stop adding radius constraints
    • Select another function or
    • press the V key or
    • press the Esc key or
    • click the middle mouse button.

Add a radius constraint to multiple circles or arcs at the same time

  1. Select the circles and arcs that you want to set the radius constraint to.
    • Hold down the Ctrl key while clicking the elements.
  2. Select the following contextual function: Constraints > Radius.
  3. Continue as above steps 3...5.
