Set the name format to display: Name, Value, or Name and Expression.
For example: Width=Length/2
Show Lock Icon for Annotational Constraints Displays a lock icon against
an object that has an annotational constraint applied (
DIMCONSTRAINTICON
on page 2236 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 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
■ Priority — Controls the order in which constraints are applied.
■ Constraint Type — Controls the type of constraint applied to objects.
■ Apply — Controls the constraints that are applied when applying
constraints to multiple objects.
Move Up Changes the order of the selected item by moving it up in the list.
Move Down Changes the order of the selected item by moving it down in
the list.
Select All Selects all geometric constraint types to autoconstrain.
Clear All Clears all geometric constraint types to autoconstrain.
Reset Resets AutoConstrain settings to default values.
