Parametric constraint errors

Occasionally, an editing operation cannot be performed due to conflicting or unsolvable constraints placed on the objects involved. When this occurs, an alert dialog box opens to preview the unsolvable constraints and remove them if needed.

To solve conflicting constraint errors:

When an unsolvable constraint occurs, an alert dialog box opens. Decide how to resolve the conflicting situation.

Parameter

Description

No

Continues with the editing operation, removing the conflicting constraints
