About Diameter and Radius Constraints

  • You can obtain a radius constraint by editing a diameter constraint. You just need to double-click the diameter constraint and choose the radius option in the dialog box that displays.
  • If you need to create a formula remember that :
    • the parameter corresponding to the radius or diameter constraint is referred to as RadiusX.object.
    • this parameter always contains the radius value.

    For more about formulas, see Engineering Rules Capture User's Guide.

Renaming Constraints

You can rename a constraint by selecting it and by using the XXX.N.object > Rename parameter contextual command.... In the dialog box that appears, you just need to enter the name of your choice.

Deactivating or Activating Constraints

You can deactivate a constraint by selecting it and by using the XXX.N.object > Deactivate contextual command. Deactivated constraints appear preceded by red parentheses ( ) in the tree.

Conversely, to activate a constraint, use the Activate contextual command.
