Constraint Animate

Window | Constraint | Animate

This constraint tool animates in real-time, the consequences of updating constrained features within a sketch and is a useful tool for anticipating design possibilities without bypassing constraint conditions.

The animation sequence can be defined by the current and anticipated distance, the number of incremental steps between these values and the time delay between each animated step.

In the example below, the Length dimensional constraint of 120 will be increased to 180 by using 6 steps at a 1 second interval.

Below is the result, paused at step 6.
