Line

Polyline segment

Arc

Two constraint points on objects

When a line or an arc is selected, the horizontal or vertical distance between the endpoints of the object is 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.
