Adding the Distance Constraint in a Model

This function can be used to define the distance between two parts. You can do this by clicking the element (point, line or face) to be affected by the constraint on both parts. If the result is not what you expected, you can flip the Distance constraint or change its chirality.

1. Do either of the following:
   • Select Constraints > Distance.
   • Right-click to open the context-sensitive menu, and select Distance.
2. Select the first part.
3. Select the appropriate face, line or point on the first part.
4. Select the second part.
5. Select the appropriate face, line or point on the second part.
6. Change the value of the distance in the dialog box, and accept the value.

Note

• You can undo the constraint last added by pressing Ctrl+Z before exiting constraint definition. The previous constraint solution is not restored.
