List of Prompts
The following prompts are displayed.
Specify first contraint point or [Object/Point & line/2Lines] <Object>: Pick a constraint point or select an object, a point and a line, or two lines to be constrained
Constraint Point
Specifies a constraint point for the object.
- First Constraint Point
-
Specifies the first point of the object to be constrained.
- Second Constraint Point
-
Specifies the second point of the object to be constrained.
- Dimension Line Location
-
Determines where the dimension line is located on the constrained object.
Object
Selects an object instead of a constraint point.
- Dimension Line Location
-
Determines where the dimension line is located on the constrained object.
Point & Line
Selects a point and a line object. The aligned constraint controls the distance between a point and the closest point on a line.
- Constraint Point
- Line
-
Selects a line object.
- Dimension Line Location
-
Determines where the dimension line is located on the constrained object.
2Lines
Selects two line objects. The lines are made parallel and the aligned constraint controls the distance between the two lines.
- First Line
-
Select the first line to be constrained.
- Second Line to Make Parallel
-
Select the second line to constrain the distance between the two selected lines.
- Dimension Line Location
-
Determines where the dimension line is located on the constrained object.
