Geometric constraints are created automatically between lines, arcs, and other geometry as you sketch. Constraints can also be manually applied after the sketch geometry exists to stabilize sketch shape or position. These geometric constraints allow the sketch to be edited with predictable results. For example, dragging the endpoint of a line that’s constrained to be perpendicular to another line does not change the perpendicularity.
Constraints are inferred when sketching new or modifying existing geometry. This process of inference decides which constraints are available to the geometry as the shape and orientation are varied. As a constraint is inferred, the constraint symbol is shown, as well as dotted alignment lines, if applicable.
Constraint persistence determines if inferred constraints are maintained after the geometry is created. If constraint persistence is turned off, constraints are not created automatically. Varying inference and persistence settings can affect the results of sketch operations.
