Add parameters and expressions to dimensional constraints

- [Instructor] Welcome to another AutoCAD tip and trick, and on following that constraints theme again where we're looking at constraints in AutoCAD. Now, you'll notice we've got a new drawing for you. It's called Clamp_CONSTRAINTS5.dwg. Don't confuse it with any other constraints drawings you may have downloaded from the library to follow along with the tips and tricks videos. Make sure it's got that five at the end, cause it's got the settings in the drawing that you need for this particular tip and trick. So, we're looking at working with parameters and expressions this time. So, we're using dimensional constraints. So, if you're drawing doesn't show any dimensional constraints, like this, make sure that you go to the Parametric tab, Dimensional panel and click on Show All. And they'll all appear like that. Like I've said previously in other tips and tricks videos, you can also show all of your geometric constraints, and hide all of your geometric constraints as well, in the…
