Automated constraining in sketcher

[Jacoolo]

How to disable automating constraining and sketcher?

How to set min angle to prevent Pro/E from making a line horizontal if its angle is very low?

 

[atalet]

If an automatic constraint appears while creating a geometry, you can disable it by right clicking.

 

[Jacoolo]

I do not see any option after RMB.

What I usually do is turning it off from Sketch > Options > Constraints

but I would like to have it set in config.pro

 

[atalet]

sketcher_disp_constraints is that what you mean?

 

[Jacoolo]

well maybe, I`ve haven`t try yet, but if one takes this option as it is - to me it sounds like controling the display, not behaviour

 

[atalet]

you can be right, seems like controlling the display.

The only way I know is the RMB. For ex. you would like to create a line and after slecting the start point with LMB, a H (Horizontal) constraint appears, at this point you can RMB and disable this constraint and then select your end point with LMB. A little bit manual but works

yes, just "tap" your right mousebutton (dont hold i down) and you will disable the constrian. AND ...another "tip" is that if you get a constrain that you reallty want, hold down shiftkey and tap the right mouse button to lock it instead.

Config.pro options :


sketcher_collinear_constr


sketcher_tangent_constr


sketcher_parallel_constr


sketcher_equal_length_constr


sketcher_perpendicular_constr


sketcher_midpoint_constr


sketcher_symmetric_constr


sketcher_lineup_hor_constr


sketcher_lineup_ver_constr

well my surious focus is on spline creation when after long time tuning under Edit > Modify, and accepting the spline with polygon Pro/E sets constraints without even asking if I would like to...

that is really pissing me off. Second thing - locking the start/end point of spline if it was lace on reference. That realy drives me crazy
