Constrains the distance
between two points on different objects.
Summary
This command is equivalent to the Aligned option
in DIMCONSTRAINT.
The following table outlines
the valid constraint objects and points:
Valid Objects or Points
|
Characteristics
|
Line Polyline segment Arc Two constraint points
on objects
Line and constraint point Two lines
|
- When a line or an arc is selected, the distance
between the endpoints of the object is constrained.
- When a line and a constraint point are selected,
the distance between the point and the closest point on the line is
constrained.
- When two lines are selected, the lines are
made parallel and the distance between them is constrained.

List of Prompts
The following prompts
are displayed.
Specify first contraint
point or [Object/Point
& line/2Lines]
<Object>: Pick a constraint point or select an object,
a point and a line, or two lines to be constrained
Constraint Point
Specifies a constraint
point for the object.
- First Constraint Point
-
Specifies the first point
of the object to be constrained.
- Second Constraint Point
-
Specifies the second
point of the object to be constrained.
- Dimension Line Location
-
Determines where the
dimension line is located on the constrained object.
Object
Selects an object instead
of a constraint point.
- Dimension Line Location
-
Point & Line
Selects a point and a
line object. The aligned constraint controls the distance between
a point and the closest point on a line.
- Constraint Point
-
- Line
-
- Dimension Line Location
-
2Lines
Selects two line objects.
The lines are made parallel and the aligned constraint controls
the distance between the two lines.
- First Line
-
Select the first line
to be constrained.
- Second Line to Make Parallel
-
Select the second line
to constrain the distance between the two selected lines.
- Dimension Line Location
