Defining Constraint Measure Direction

This task shows you how to define the measure direction as you create a dimensional constraint. For example, you will assign the horizontal measure direction to a constraint to be created between two circles.
Create two circles as explained in Creating Circles.

  1. Create a distance constraint between the circles via Constraint .

  1. Right-click the constraint and select the Horizontal Measure Direction.
    The constraint is now positioned according to the horizontal direction.

  1. Click anywhere to create the constraint.
