After you specify the dimensional constraint type, you can either enter an
expression value or accept the default (constraintname=value).
The DIMCONSTRAINT command gives the same options as the following
commands:
Linear (
DCLINEAR (page 265))
Creates a horizontal, vertical, or rotated constraint based on the locations of
the extension line origins and the dimension line.
Horizontal (
DCHORIZONTAL (page 264))
Constrains the X distance between points on an object, or between two points
on different objects.
Vertical (
DCVERTICAL (page 268))
Constrains the Y distance between points on an object, or between two points
on different objects.
Aligned (
DCALIGNED (page 257))
Constrains the distance between two points on different objects.
Angular (DCANGULAR (page 259))
Constrains the angle between line or polyline segments, the angle swept out
by an arc or a polyline arc segment, or the angle between three points on
objects.
Radius (
DCRADIUS (page 267))
Constrains the radius of a circle or an arc.
Diameter (DCDIAMETER (page 262))
Constrains the diameter of a circle or an arc.
Form (
DCFORM (page 263))
Specifies whether the dimensional constraint being created is dynamic or
annotational.
Convert (
DCCONVERT (page 261))
Converts associative dimensions to dimensional constraints.
