Base Profile >> Sketch Curve >> Constraint >> Distance

• Base Profile >> Sketch Curve >> Constraint >> Distance command assign distance constraint on two selected sketch curves.¡¡

Step

Execute Base Profile >> Sketch Curve >> Constraint >> Distance command as follows:

1. Select Base Profile >> Sketch Curve >> Constraint >> Distance from the menu or click the corresponding icon on the Feature toolbar.

2. Following dialogue appeared 

3. Pick sketch curves first and pick entity by from-to order Then present distance will be indicated in the dialogue box. indicated distance means minimum distance of two curves. 

Enitity selection can be done on RMB menu as below dialogue

rapidform supports below two methods of constraint

 case1: Using mouse drag, user can drag curves to constraint distance in the screen. with Ctrl key, user can move finely. with Shift key, rough control is enabled. 

  after dragging, in case of undesirable result, user can reset constraint by Discard. otherwise just click Done to take result

 case 2: Input value user wants, In this case, Discard button is disabled   

6. Click Close to dismiss dialogue

Note  

• Using Ref.Vector for fixed entity, Dimension like mechanical drawing is enable.
• Focus of constraints for sketch curves

	Line	Arc	Freeform Curve
Line	Vertical distance of each midpoint of   lines	Distance from midpoint of line to center of arc	Minimum distance from midpoints of line to midpoints of freeform curve
Arc	Minimum distance from center of arc to midpoint of line	Minimum distance of each center of arc	Minimum distance from center of arc to midpoints of freeform curve
Freeform Curve	Minimum distance from midpoints of freeform curve to midpoint of line	Minimum distance from midpoint of freeform curve to center of arc	Minimum distance of each midpoints of freeform curve
