Work with dimensional constraints in an AutoCAD drawing

“

- [Instructor] Welcome to another AutoCAD Tips and Tricks video. Now, you may have already approached my other Tips and Tricks video about geometric constraints in AutoCAD. In this particular video, we're going to be looking at dimensional constraints in AutoCAD. Subtly different, but they work in a slightly different way to geometric constraints. So we've got a new drawing for you. It's called Dimensional, surprise, surprise, .dwg. And you can download it from the library, follow along with this particular Tips and Tricks video. Now, you'll notice that it's already geometrically constrained, and you can see all the geometric constraints on the screen there, so you can see that we've got some parallel constraints, horizontal constraints, perpendicular constraints. Go to the Parametric tab on the ribbon. What we need to do in order to work on this drawing is we need to have the ability to hide the geometric constraints. So we go to Hide All. They'll still be there, but if we're going…
