Geometric Constraints & Dimensional Constraints - relationships between
sketch entities.
All entities have to be constrained - their position and characteristics described
and formalised. This can be achieved through Dimensional or Geometric
constraints.
Dimensional constraints show a linear or angular distance between entities.
Geometric constraints are more fundamental than this and describe the
characteristics of the relative position of entities.
Dimensional constraints- Distance- horizontal, vertical, ordinate, angular,
radius, diameter etc.
These can be given using smart dimensions command.
Geometric constraints- parallel, perpendicular, coincident, horizontal, vertical,
symmetry, equidistant, midpoint, coincident, concentric, equal etc.
These can be given using properties manager window in the sketcher module.
How to enter sketcher- Select a plane or a planar surface and select sketch
button
Exiting sketcher module- select the same button which is now changed to
exit sketch or select

Inferred Constraints
Vertical indicates a line is vertical
Horizontal indicates a line is horizontal
Dashed line indicates the alignment is to the center point or
endpoint of an entity
Parallel indicates a line is parallel to other entities
Perpendicular indicates a line is perpendicular to other entities
Coincident indicates the endpoint will be coincident with
another entity
Concentric indicates the cursor is at the center of an entity
Tangent indicates the cursor is at tangency points to
curves
