Dynamic dimensional constraints are more limited than annotational
dimensional constraints in where the text can be located.
NOTE Triangular grips are not available for dimensional constraints that reference
other constraint variables in expressions.
For information about temporarily relaxing constraints, see Overview of
Constraints
on page 803.
To grip-edit a dimensional constraint
1 Select a constrained object.
2 Click the grips and drag to edit the geometry.
To edit a dimensional constraint in-place
1 Double-click a dimensional constraint to display the in-place text editor.
2 Enter the new name, value, or expression (name=value).
3 Press Enter to confirm the change.
To edit a dimensional constraint using the Properties palette
1 Select a dimensional constraint, right-click in the drawing area, and click
Properties.
2 Enter the new values for Name, Expression, and Description text boxes.
To turn a dimensional constraint off
