Editing Multi-Constraint

You can quickly edit all or some dimensional constraints contained in a sketch.

This task shows you how to:

Before you begin: Create a simple profile and use Auto Constraint to quickly create several constraints.

About Editing Multi-Constraint

Edit Constraint Values

To edit the constraint value, use the Edit Multi-Constraint command.

  1. Select the geometry that needs to be altered.
    Tip: You can use the trap tool to select the whole geometry.
  2. From the Sketch section of the action bar, click Edit Multi-Constraint .
    The Edit Multi-Constraint dialog box displays all the dimensional constraints in the geometry.
    Tip: To restrict the selection, that is access only some of the constraints, first select the constraints of interest, then click Edit Multi-Constraint . You can also add other constrains later.
  3. To apply a current value to other constraints, select two or more rows and click Apply Current Value.
    The current value of the active row is applied to all the selected rows.
  4. Optional: Click Preview to get an idea of the result.


Edit Constraint Tolerances

In Sketcher, tolerances are only displayed but are not taken into account when solving dimension values. Tolerance values displayed in Sketcher can be managed by the 3D Tolerancing & Annotationapp, which is dedicated to tolerance management.

  1. Select the geometry whose constraints you want to edit.
  2. Click Edit Multi-Constraint .
    The Edit Multi-Constraint dialog box appears.
  3. To apply tolerance to other constraints, select two or more rows and click Apply Tolerance.
    The tolerance of the active row is applied to all the selected rows.
  4. Click OK.
    The tolerances are displayed on the sketch with the corresponding dimension.
