DoubleCAD Pro only Geometric TurboCAD LTE Pro onlyGeometric constraints create positional relationships between 2D sketch objects. When used in conjunction with dimensional constraints (see
Constraining Dimensions), you can easily control and update objects and dimensions.
Note:
_These tools are used for constraining geometry after is has been created. If you want to automatically constrain geometry while it is created, make sureXy2D128768Xy2D128768Auto Add Constraints* is active in the Inspector Bar._

Illuminate Suitable Entity* option is active by default. This means that only those objects that can be selected for the constraint type will be highlighted when the cursor passes over them. For example, if you are using the
Concentric constraint, only arcs, circles, and ellipses will be highlighted and selectable.

Image Removed When constraints are created, a constraint marker is attached to the constrained objects. This marker is on the CONSTRAINTS layer, in the layer's color. This example shows two lines that are constrained to be parallel.
