Apply dimensional constraints in AutoCAD

Apply dimensional constraints.


00:04

There are many dimensional constraints such as linear and aligned.

00:08

But for this example,

00:10

I will use the angular dimensional constraint.

00:14

This is useful when a specific angle needs to be maintained,

00:18

the caps on the top

00:20

and the bottom of this assembly are good candidates for this

00:24

as they utilize a specific angle.

00:30

So let's grab

00:32

angle,

00:34

select the first line

00:37

and select the second line

00:41

and then the angle that needs to be maintained.

00:46

Notice as I go to grip, edit

00:50

that angle is maintained.
