List of Options
The following options are displayed.
The Constraint Settings dialog box includes the following:

Geometric Tab (page 220)
 Dimensional Tab (page 220)
 Autoconstrain Tab (page 221)
Geometric Tab
Controls the display of constraint types on constraint bars.
Infer Geometric Constraints Infers geometric constraints when creating and
editing geometry.
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.
Icon Transparency Sets the transparency level of constraint bars in a drawing.
Show Constraint Bars After Applying Constraints to Selected Objects
Displays relevant constraint bars after you apply a constraint manually or
when you use the
AUTOCONSTRAIN (page 131) command.
Temporarily Display Constraint Bars When Objects Are Selected
Temporarily displays the constraint bars of the selected objects.
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
