• Name—The name of the constraint. The color swatch adjacent to Name allows you to change the color of the icon, the distribution, and text displayed for the constraint.

• Member of Set—The name of the constraint set. You can select an existing constraint set from the drop-down list, or create a new constraint set by clicking New to display the Constraint Sets dialog box.

• References—You can select the geometry for these references before or after you open the Constraint dialog box. Your selections appear in the References collector. The References list includes the following geometric entities:

◦ Surfaces (default)—one or more surfaces, part boundaries, intent surfaces, or surface sets.

◦ Edges/Curves—edges, curves, composite curves, or intent chains and intent curves.

◦ Points—one or more points, vertices, features of points, patterns of points, or intent points.

• Coordinate System—Change the reference coordinate system. The default is the current coordinate system.

• Constraint type—The translation and rotation constraints that you can apply differ depending upon your model type and coordinate system. You must specify the setting for each component of these constraint types.

◦ Translation—The extent to which you allow your model to move along a principal axis of the referenced Cartesian, cylindrical, or spherical coordinate system.

◦ Rotation—The extent to which you allow your model to rotate in reference to an axis of the referenced Cartesian, cylindrical, or spherical coordinate system. The rotation area is active when you select moment capable references.
