Parametric Dimensions in the HCM Model

Distance constraints are represented in the drawing by means of parametric dimensions. If you right-click one of the parametric dimensions, a context menu opens.

You can use this menu to call the following functions:

• Change constraint value: This enables you to enter the new value, say, of a distance constraint into an input window.
• Drag dimension: This function enables you to change the value dynamically by moving the cursor up and down. The dimensioning is always automatically adjusted for distance constraints.
• Move dimension line: This enables you to move the dimension line dynamically.
• Convert into drawing dimension: The parametric dimensions are adopted as the drawing dimensions and inserted into the drawing as a dimensioning.
• Delete: The constraint is deleted.
