(Choose a 3D constraint in the prompt menu.)

Command Options

Option	Description
Fix	Applies a fixed constraint to a solid or to an edge or a face of a solid. The option is equivalent to the DmFix3d command ().
Coincident	Applies a coincident constraint between two edges, two faces or an edge and a face of two different solids. The option is equivalent to the DmCoincident3d command ().
Concentric	Applies a concentric constraint between two cylindrical, spherical or conical surfaces. The option is equivalent to the DmConcentric3d command ().
Parallel	Applies a parallel constraint between two faces of a solid or of different solids. The option is equivalent to the DmParallel3d command ().
Perpendicular	Applies a perpendicular constraint between two faces of a solid or of different solids. The option is equivalent to the DmPerpendicular3d command ().
Tangent	Applies a tangent constraint between a face and a curved surface of different solids. The option is equivalent to the DmTangent3d command ().
Distance	Applies a distance constraint between two subentities of a solid or of different solids. The option is equivalent to the DmDistance3d command ().
Radius	Applies a radius constraint to cylindrical surfaces or circular edges. The option is equivalent to the DmRadius3d command ().
Angle	Applies an angle constraint between to faces of a solid or of different solids. The option is equivalent to the DmAngle3d command ().
Rigid Set	Allows to define a set of entities or subentities as a rigid body. The option is equivalent to the DmRigidSet3d command ().
