Defining Fixed Position Geometric Constraints

Use the GcFix command to cause points on entities and entities to maintain fixed positions.

To fix the position of constraint points:

  1. Click Constraints > Geometric Constraints > Fix (or type GcFix).

  2. Specify a constraint point on an entity (Line, linear PolyLine segment, Circle, Arc, PolyLine arc, Ellipse, elliptical Arc, Spline, Note, SimpleNote, or Block).

    The constraint point is locked in place.

To fix the position of entities:

  1. Click Constraints > Geometric Constraints > Fix (or type GcFix).

  2. Specify the Entity option.

  3. Specify an entity (Line, linear PolyLine segment, Circle, Arc, PolyLine arc, Ellipse, or elliptical Arc).

    The entity is locked in place.

tip If you fixed the position of a PolyLine segment, the segment is locked in place, but you can modify the geometry of the other segments.
