Show and hide constraints in your AutoCAD drawings
- [Instructor] Welcome to another AutoCAD Tip and Trick. And again, we're on that constraints theme. The constraints in AutoCAD. So you'll see we've got a new drawing for you, it's called clamp_constraints6.dwg this time. You can see it at the top of the screen there. When you download it from the library to follow along with this Tips and Tricks video, make sure you don't confuse it with any other of the constraints drawings you may have downloaded. This particular drawing has all the settings for both geometric and dimensional constraints that you need for this particular Tips and Tricks video. So, let's jump straight in this time. I'm going to show you now how to work with showing and hiding all of your different types of constraints in your AutoCAD drawings. So, at the moment, right now, you can see all of your dimensional constraints. You've got d1, d2, d3. D2 and d3 have expressions associated with them using parameters, which is d1 plus null .25, and they're all locked, you'll…
