Show Lock Icon for Annotational Constraints Displays a lock icon against
an object that has an annotational constraint applied (
DIMCONSTRAINTICON
(page 1267) 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 (page 131) 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?
If the first condition is met, then tangent and perpendicular constraints are
always applied if the check boxes are cleared.
If you select the additional check boxes, then the distance tolerance is
considered for intersecting objects. If the objects do not intersect but the
nearest distance between them is within the distance tolerance specified, then
the constraint will be applied even if the check boxed are selected.
Autoconstrain Headings
 Applied — Controls the constraints that are applied when applying
constraints to multiple objects.
 Constraint Type — Controls the type of constraint applied to objects.
Tolerances Sets the acceptable tolerance values to determine whether a
constraint can be applied.
 Distance — Distance tolerance are applied to coincident, concentric,
tangent, and collinear constraints.
 Angle — Angular tolerance are applied to horizontal, vertical, parallel,
perpendicular, tangent, and collinear constraints.
Tangent Objects Must Share an Intersection Point Specifies that two curves
must share a common point (as specified within the distance tolerance) for
the tangent constraint to be applied.
Perpendicular Objects Must Share an Intersection Point Specifies that lines
must intersect or the endpoint of one line must be coincident with the other
line or endpoint of the line as specified within the distance tolerance.
