You can automatically apply geometric constraints while creating and editing geometric objects.
Enabling Infer Constraints mode automatically applies constraints between the object you are creating or editing, and the object or points associated with object snaps. Similar to the AUTOCONSTRAIN command, constraints are applied only if the objects meet the constraint conditions. Objects are not repositioned as a result of inferring constraints.
With Infer Constraints turned on, the object snaps that you specify when creating geometry are used to infer geometric constraints. However, the following object snaps are not supported:
The following constraints cannot be inferred:
Certain object creation and editing commands can infer constraints regardless of the current object snap settings.
LINE and PLINE commands infer coincident point-to-point constraints. The Close option infers a coincident constraint between the start point of the first line and the endpoint of the last line.
The RECTANG, FILLET, and CHAMFER commands infer constraints as follows:
The following commands are unaffected by the Infer Constraints setting:
When moving, copying, or stretching with the Infer Constraints on, you can apply coincident, perpendicular, parallel, or tangent constraints between the object being edited and the object being snapped to if the base point of the edited object is a valid constraint point of that object.
For example, if a line is stretched and snapped to an endpoint of another line, a coincident constraint is applied between the endpoints of the two lines.
A vertical or horizontal constraint can be applied between objects when you move, copy, or stretch an object from a valid constraint point while object tracking vertically or horizontally along a valid constraint point on another object.
