Geometric Tab
Controls the display of constraint types on constraint bars.
Displayed Constraints Controls the display of constraint bars or constraint
point markers for objects in the drawing editor.
For example, you can hide the display of constraint bars for Horizontal and
Vertical constraints.
Select All Selects the geometric constraint types.
Clear All Clears the selected geometric constraint types.
Display Constraints in the Current Plane Displays constraint bars for
geometrically constrained objects only on the current plane.
Constraint Bar TransparencyIcon Transparency Sets the transparency level
of constraint bars in a drawing.
Dimensional Tab
Sets preferences in behavior when displaying dimensional constraints.
Dimensional Constraint Format Sets the display of the dimensional name
format and lock icon.
Dimension Name Format Specifies the format for the text displayed when
dimensional constraints are applied.
Set the name format to display: Name, Value, or Name and Expression.
For example: Width=Length/2
Show Lock Icon for Annotational Constraints Displays a lock icon against
an object that has an annotational constraint applied (
DIMCONSTRAINTICON
on page 1246 system variable).
Show Hidden Dynamic Constraints for Selected Objects Displays dynamic
constraints that have been set to hide when selected.
Autoconstrain Tab
Controls the constraints that are applied to a selection set, and the order in
which they are applied when using the
AUTOCONSTRAIN command.
The following conditions are checked before multiple geometric constraints
are applied:
■ Are the objects perpendicular or tangential to each other within the
tolerances specified in the AutoConstrain tab?
■ Do they also intersect within the specified tolerances?
