Constraints and Dimensions

The Constraints and Dimensions options let you customize constraint and dimension appearances according to their statuses.

Constraint Style



Resolved constraint

Defines the color status for resolved constraints.

By default, the color as shown above in the screen capture.

Unresolved constraint

Defines the color status for unresolved constraints.

By default, the color as shown above in the screen capture.

Overstrained

Defines the color status for overstrained constraints.

By default, the color as shown above in the screen capture.

Invalid geometry

Defines the color status for constraints set on invalid geometries.

By default, the color as shown above in the screen capture.

Status Color Visualization

Defines if the default status color or the graphical user defined color is displayed on constraint.

By default, this option is not selected (default status color).

View Angle

Defines the angle from which the constraint is displayed in the geometry area, when you are rotating the geometry. This angle is measured between the normal to the screen and the constraint direction.

By default, the angle value is 1deg.

Preview



Pre-visualizes the constraint appearances according to the Constraint Style, Constraint Display and Dimension Style options.

Constraint Display



Display Mode
Defines the display mode of constraint options.

The options in the Display Mode are as follows:

Value
Displays the constraint value only.
Name
Displays the constraint name only.
Name+Value
Displays constraint name and value only.
Name+Value+Formula
Displays constraint name and value or constraint name and formula.

By default, Value is selected.

Dimension Style



Scale
Defines the size of the graphical symbols for constraint (tangency, parallelism, leader arrow) options:

The options in the Scale are as follows:

Small
Displays small symbols.
Medium
Displays medium symbols.
Large
Displays large symbols.

By default, Medium option is selected.

Displays iconified constraint elements

Defines whether the iconified constraint elements are displayed.

By default, this option is selected.

Highlight constrained elements

Defines whether the constrained geometries are highlighted when you pre-select a constraint.

By default, this option is selected.

Gap

Defines the distance between the constrained geometries and constraint extension lines.

By default, the value is 2mm.

Overrun

Defines the distance between the constraint dimension lines and constraint extension lines.

By default, the value is 2mm.
