How to apply and edit a Radial dimensional constraint

Background

Applying a Radial dimensional constraint to a Circle or Arc is done using the Dimension Element Constraint tool, which can can be found under


Ribbon:  Drawing > Constraints > Dimensional

Steps to Accomplish

To apply a Radial Dimension Constraint

  1. Select the Dimension Element Constraint tool

  3. In the Tool Settings window select Radius (or Diameter)

       4.    Place a Data point to place the dimension, a pop up will display the current size and you have three options

    1. Enter another data point in the view to except the current value

    2. Type in a new value and enter another data point in the view to except (The graphics will also change with new value)

    3. If defined pick a Variable to be applied and enter another data point in the view to except (The graphics will also change with new value)

To edit a Radial Dimension Constraint

  1. Select the 'Element Selection' tool

  2. Move the cursor over the Dimension to edit and Right mouse click and select ' Edit Dimension '

       3.  Enter a new value or pick from the available list and enter a data point in the view to except
