2.3.2.2.17. Key "CREATE_AUTO_CST_SKETCH"

Different modes for automatic constraints creation:

  • No - Auto constraints in sketch will not be created

  • Chained - Auto constraints in sketch will be created in Chained mode

  • Stacked - Auto constraints in sketch will be created in Stacked mode

  • FIXTOGETHER - Will create a [[FixTogether]] constraint between the 2D elements from the sketch and 2D axis directions. The default constraints from CATIA are also available.

  • FIXTOGETHER_DELCST (Default) - Will create just a [[FixTogether]] constraint between the 2D elements from the sketch and 2D axis directions.The default constraints from CATIA are deleted.

  • FIXTOAXIS_CHAINED - Will create distance constraints between the first Point from the sketch and each H and V 2d Axis Direction AT THE END after we apply the Chained AUTO constraint over all other Sketch elements without axis. If we have no 2D Point in sketch then will create Chained AUTO constraint over all other Sketch elements (without axis) and as reference elements will be the Axis Origin Point plus H Direction plus V Direction

  • FIXTOAXIS_STACKED - All 2D elements of the Sketch (without Axis) will be STACKED AUTO constrained with the Origin Point of the Sketch Axis as reference. If we have no 2D Point in sketch then all elements of the Sketch (without axis) will be STACKED AUTO constrained with the Origin Point of the Sketch Axis plus H Direction and V direction as reference.

  • FORCE sifts through given values and - if problems occur when updating the sketch - the next value is tried out.

    Try in this order: "STACKED;CHAINED;FIXTOAXIS_CHAINED;FIXTOAXIS_STACKED;FIXTOGETHER_DELCST"

  • CREATE_AUTO_CST_SKETCH = CHAINED;STACKED; - More options separated by ";" are supported. As soon as a setting is successful this is used and sifting through is aborted.

    Further example:

    CREATE_AUTO_CST_SKETCH = FIXTOAXIS_CHAINED;CHAINED;STACKED;...

NOTE: The key can also be used catalog dependent.

[CreationOptions] 
CREATE_AUTO_CST_SKETCH(isCatalog(catalog_name))=FIXTOGETHER

Example:

In this exemplary figure "CREATE_AUTO_CST_SKETCH = FIXTOGETHER_DELCST" is used.

In some cases the settings "CHAINED" or "STACKED" do not work within acceptable time frame. Then try out the default valule.
