Constraints and Dimensions

This tab deals with with these categories of options:

Constraint Style

Defines the constraint style options:

Resolved constraint

Defines the color status for resolved constraints.

By default, the color is green. See the screen capture.

Unresolved constraint

Defines the color status for unresolved constraints.

By default, the color is dark green. See the screen capture.

Overstrained

Defines the color status for overstrained constraints.

By default, the color is purple. See the screen capture.

Invalid geometry

Defines the color status for constraints set on a geometry became invalid.

By default, the color is dark red. See 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 value is 1deg.

Constraint Display

Defines the constraint display options:

Display Mode

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

By default, Value is selected.

Display Mode available as Knowledge parameter

Defines whether the Display Mode for Sketcher dimensional constraints is available as Knowledge parameter.
In addition of this option, the Parameters of features and constraints must be selected.

By default, this option is not selected.

Filter...

Click this button to display the Constraint Filter dialog box.

Filter

Defines the general filter options:

Show all: displays all the constraints.
Conditional Filter: displays the constraints according to the Status Filter, Product and Filter by Type selected options.
Hide all: hides all the constraints.

By default, Show all is selected.

Status Filter

Defines the status filter options:

Do not filter status: displays the constraints without take into account their status, verified or not.
Filter unverified constraints: displays the unverified constraints only.
Filter verified constraints: displays the verified constraints only.

By default, Do not filter status is selected.

Product

Defines the product filter option:

Show on active product: defines whether the constraints of the active product only are displayed.

By default, this option is not selected.

Filter by Type

Defines the filter by type options:

Dimensions: defines whether dimension constraints are displayed.
Angles: defines whether angle constraints are displayed.
Fixed Angles: defines whether fixed angles constraints are displayed.
Tangencies: defines whether tangency constraints are displayed.
Coincidences: defines whether coincidence constraints are displayed.
Equalities: defines whether equal constraints are displayed.
Fixities: defines whether fix constraints are displayed.
Concentricities: defines whether concentricity constraints are displayed.
Chamfers: defines whether chamfer constraints are displayed.
Driven: defines whether driven constraints are displayed.
Driving: defines whether driving constraints are displayed.

By default, all these options are selected.

Dimension Style

Defines the dimension style options:

Scale

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

Small: displays small symbols.
Medium: displays medium symbols.
Large: displays large symbols.

By default, the 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.

Preview

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