Infer Constraints with Rectangle, Fillet, and Chamfer
The RECTANG, FILLET, and CHAMFER commands infer constraints as follows:
■ RECTANG applies a pair of parallel constraints and a perpendicular
constraint to the closed polyline.
■ FILLET applies tangent and coincident constraints between the newly
created arc and the existing trimmed or extended pair of lines.
■ CHAMFER applies coincident contraints between the newly created line
and the existing trimmed or extended pair of lines.
The following commands are unaffected by the Infer Constraints setting:
■ SCALE
■ MIRROR
■ OFFSET
■ BREAK
■ TRIM
■ EXTEND
■ ARRAY
Infer Constraints with Move, Copy, and Stretch
When moving, copying, or stretching with the Infer Constraints on, you can
apply coincident, perpendicular, parallel, or tangent constraints between the
object being edited and the object being snapped to if the base point of the
edited object is a valid constraint point of that object.
For example, if a line is stretched and snapped to an endpoint of another line,
a coincident constraint is applied between the endpoints of the two lines.
A vertical or horizontal constraint can be applied between objects when you
move, copy, or stretch an object from a valid constraint point while object
tracking vertically or horizontally along a valid constraint point on another
object.
