-
Select a 3D element (solid or surface).
The selected 3D element is highlighted.
-
Select the face, edge or vertex of the 3D element you want to
constrain (reset if a face (or entity) is behind another face (or entity) until
the desired one is selected).
The selected face, edge or vertex is highlighted.
-
Select another 3D element and then select the desired face, edge
or vertex of this 3D element.
The distance between the selected entities is displayed.
-
Do one of the following:
Enter a data point to accept the displayed dimensional constraint.
or
Key in the desired value in the dimension box and then accept by either pressing <Enter> or entering a data point.
Note: You can also select variables from the dimension box's drop-down list, provided you have already set variables in the Variables dialog.
