Constraining dxf "shape"
CouldUseASkittleHelp
Member Posts: 4 ✭
I was wondering if there was a way to constrain an dxf shape in a sketch. Currently, dxfs are just connected points together. The only way to resize it/move it is using the transform tool. If you try to move any individual points it affects the proportions of the dxf. However, I am wondering if there is a way to make it so that the perimeter of an dxf is constrained, so that you can manually move/resize it like you would any primitive shape.

Not sure if this is your intent:
If you know the dimension of a line or a distance between two points of the DFX, create a line or construction line on top of that line or a line or construction line between the two points. Assigning a dimension to that line equal to the known dimension will resize the entire sketch proportionally. This only works with the first assigned dimension. - Scotty
