Commands

AUTOCONSTRAIN

Applies geometric constraints to a selection set of objects based on orientation of the objects relative to one another.

CONSTRAINTBAR

A toolbar-like UI element that displays the available geometric constraints on an object.

CONSTRAINTSETTINGS

Controls the display of geometric constraints on constraint bars.

DELCONSTRAINT

Removes all geometric and dimensional constraints from a selection set of objects.

DIMCONSTRAINT

Applies dimensional constraints to selected objects or points on objects.

GEOMCONSTRAINT

A toolbar-like UI element that displays the available geometric constraints on an object.

LIST

Displays property data for selected objects.

PARAMETERS

Controls the associative parameters used in the drawing.

-PARAMETERS

Controls the associative parameters used in the drawing.

PARAMETERSCLOSE

Closes the Parameters Manager palette.

TEXTEDIT

Edits a dimensional constraint, dimension, or text object.

System Variables

CCONSTRAINTFORM

Controls whether annotational or dynamic constraints are applied to objects.

CONSTRAINTBARDISPLAY

Displays constraint bars for objects after you manually apply a constraint or autoconstrain them.

CONSTRAINTBARMODE

Controls the display of geometrical constraints on constraint bars.

CONSTRAINTNAMEFORMAT

Controls the text format for dimensional constraints.

CONSTRAINTRELAX

Indicates whether constraints are enforced or relaxed when editing an object.

CONSTRAINTSOLVEMODE

Controls constraint behavior when applying or editing constraints.

DIMCONSTRAINTICON

Displays the lock icon next to the text for dimensional constraints.

DYNCONSTRAINTDISPLAY

Displays or hides dynamic constraints.

DYNCONSTRAINTMODE

Displays hidden dimensional constraints when constrained objects are selected.

PARAMETERCOPYMODE

Controls how constraints and referenced variables are copied when replicating constrained geometry.

PARAMETERSSTATUS
