The following table outlines the valid constraint objects and points:
CharacteristicsValid Objects or Points
Line
 When a line or an arc is selected, the
distance between the endpoints of the
object is constrained.
Polyline segment
Arc
Two constraint points on objects
 When a line and a constraint point are
selected, the distance between the
Line and constraint point
Two lines
point and the closest point on the line
is constrained.
 When two lines are selected, the lines
are made parallel and the distance
between them is constrained.
For example,
List of Prompts
The following prompts are displayed.
Specify first
contraint point (page ?) or [Object (page
?)/
Point & line (page ?)/2Lines (page ?)] <Object>: Pick a
constraint point or select an object, a point and a line, or two lines to be constrained
Constraint Point
Specifies a constraint point for the object.
First Constraint Point Specifies the first point of the object to be constrained.
Second Constraint Point Specifies the second point of the object to be
