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 865.
