Constraines and Dimensioning

Measurement is not only used to document the dimension or angle between two objects.
Measurements can also be used to create links between these objects and lock a given
dimension.

Add dimension ► The element (here the door)
is moved by marking the door and correcting
the dimension ► Touch the small lock below
the dimension, so that the lock is locked. If the
wall is moved, the door will now follow.

The lock can be opened by pressing it again.

If a dimension with Constraints is deleted, this
dialog will appear.
If OK is selected, see the binding by selecting
the wall.

OK: Here the dimension is deleted, but not the binding.

Unconstrain: Here the dimension is deleted and the binding is unlocked.
Cancel: Here the deletion of the dimension is undone and the binding is retained.

It is possible to see all the bindings in the current View by enabling Reveal Constraints in the
View Control Bar
