Important:
  • A dot is displayed at the origin of extension lines for Offset, Angle, Parallelism, Perpendicularity and Hinge in work area.
  • Constraint symbols appear in the work area during the creation or edition of engineering connections.
  • Depending on the selected Constraint Mode, constraint values appear as follows:
    • Driving: no brackets.
    • Measured: with brackets.
    • Controlled: with square brackets.
