Same Distance
Same Dist is assigned to two pairs of elements. All geometric elements except for spline-based entities (rational splines, bsplines, and ellipses) are eligible. You can assign constraints to the interpolation or control points of these entities, just not the spline itself. Same Dist forces the distance between the members of the first pair of elements to be the same as the distance between the members of the second pair. If other constraints prevent the two distances from being made equal, the solve fails.
To assign Same Dist constraints:
1. Select ASSIGN on MENU 2.
2. Select type Same Dist.
3. Pick the two elements for the first pair.
4. Pick the two elements for the second pair.
5. Press END or go on to the next constraint.
Each element in a same-distance set is labeled with the same-distance icon, Constraint Icons, and a reference number that is unique to the set.
