Animating Constraints

Animate Constraints lets you visualize how the sketch is affected if one of the dimensional constraint value is changed.

  1. Select an angle constraint.
  2. In the Number of steps box, specify the number of instances to be visualized.
  3. In the First value box, specify the angle value for the first instance.
  4. In the Last value box, specify the angle value for the last instance.
  5. Select Hide constraints check box for hiding constraints.
  6. Select Loop to run the animation in a repeated loop.
  7. Select Run Animation to see how the sketch is affected by the different values assigned to the constraint. The command induces a clockwise rotation.
