Constraints
« on: November 17, 2015, 02:56:25 PM »
Ran into this one today. Had totally forgotten about it.  :-o

Had a user that was not able to edit objects in a drawing. At first, I thought it was grouped together but it turns out that the previous user had initiated CONSTRAINTS. I don't really know why?  :blink:

Anyway, we used DELCON to remove the constraints for editing purposes and then reinstated the selected constraints once editing was complete.

Granted it's been a long time since I've used AutoCAD (and my usage of constraints can be summed up with the term NULL) but isn't that the keyboard shortcut for ORTHO? o.0

Isn't one of the many possible uses of constraints to mimic the behavior of Ortho?
