More About Editing Multi-Constraint

You can multi-select constraints and thus apply the same tolerance for all of the selected constraints.

This page provides reference information on editing multi-constraints.

The following topics are discussed:

More About Tolerance

In the Edit Multi-Constraint dialog box you can modify, delete, and restore the tolerances.

Modify a Tolerance

You can modify a tolerance either in the Edit Multi-Constraint dialog box or directly from the geometry area.


  1. In the geometry area, select the constraint for which you want to modify the tolerance.

    The Constraint Definition dialog box is displayed.

  2. Right-click in the Value box and select Tolerance > Edit.

Delete a Tolerance

You can delete a tolerance either in the Edit Multi-Constraint dialog box or directly from the geometry area.


  1. In the geometry area, select the constraint for which you want to delete the tolerance.

    The Constraint Definition dialog box is displayed.

  2. Right-click in the Value box and select Tolerance > Suppress.

Restore a Tolerance

In the Edit Multi-Constraint dialog box you can restore the tolerances. This applies to the selected constraint. It restores the tolerance to its initial state, when the multi-edit command was launched.


  1. Select the constraint for which you want to restore the tolerance.

  2. Click Restore Initial Tolerances.

    Important:
    • If tolerances did not exist, and were created later on, they will be deleted.
    • If tolerances did exist, and were deleted or modified later on, they will be restored to their initial values.

Multi-Select Constraints


  1. Select the constraints for which you want to apply a tolerance.

  2. Enter a value in the Maximum tolerance and Minimum tolerance boxes.

    The tolerances are displayed on the sketch with the corresponding dimension.

    Important:
    • The display of the tolerances and their edition in the multi-edit command is done only for dimension constraints of the sketches.
    • The display of the tolerances is not done as in the standards, since it is just a way to have a global view of tolerances.

Diameter Dimensions

The Edit Multi-Constraint dialog box indicates diameter dimensions as radius dimensions with their corresponding values.

Contextual Commands

Standard contextual commands, those you can get from any constraint definition dialog box, are available from the value field.

These commands are:


  • Edit formula...: enables you to edit a formula.

  • Edit...: enables you to edit a parameter.

  • Add tolerance...: enables you to edit tolerances.

  • Change step: specifies an increment/decrement amount.

  • Add Multiple Values...: enables you to add multiple values for the object.

  • Add Range...: enables you to add a range.

  • Edit Comment...: enables you to add a comment.

  • Lock: enables you to lock a parameter.
