Constrain the horizontal distance of an edge of an object, a line segment, or between two points. If an object resize is attempted, the constraint prevents the operation, preserving the original horizontal distance. When the constraint is on two different objects, if one object is modified, the other constrained object moves to remain at the same constrained horizontal distance.
To constrain the horizontal distance of an edge of an object or a line segment:
Click the Constrain Horiz Distance tool from the Dims/Notes tool set.
Multiple dimensional constraint tools share the same position on the tool set. Click and hold the mouse on the visible tool to open the Pop-out Tools list and select the desired tool.
Click the object to be constrained.
A green horizontal distance constraint is drawn on the object.
To constrain the horizontal distance between two points:
Click the Constrain Horiz Distance tool from the Dims/Notes tool set.
Click the first point to be constrained.
The cursor switches to the bull’s-eye cursor.
Click the second point to be constrained.
A green horizontal distance constraint is drawn between the two points.
