Learning Catia - Constraint Problem
Learning Catia - Constraint Problem
(OP)
Hi all,
I've decided to learn Catia, so am working through a tutorial book, but I'm having a slight problem applying a constraint.
I've attached 2 pics to show the problem.
I'm trying to apply a 10mm constrain between the top line of the rectangle and the construction line above it (see pic 1). But every time I try to apply the constrain, the constrain applies itself to the other side of the rectangle (see pic 2).
What I'm I doing wrong?

I suggest you create the construction line by clicking ('projecting') on just the edge you want and then dimensioning your rectangle from that line/edge.
See how it works then.
