Working with constraints
Hi just trying to get familiar with constraints in the new varicad version 2009 1.04 . Is it possible to constrain the relationship between two parts ? I have only found cutting and adding constraints. Is it possible to constrain say a shaft and a bearing center. If I constrain add the colours become the same so I take it constraint is only for a single piece ?
further questions with constraints
Hi, similarly to Leo, I am trying to get familiar with constraints. Did I understand correctly from the docs, constraints can only be defined between parts of the same boolean tree. Is that correct?

If not, can the following be done? (or is planned?):
I have two boxes, for example (A and B). I want a 1mm gap between them, but I am in the early phase of design, and the dimensions of these boxes change. Can I constrain the position of box B to be 1mm apart from the neighbouring wall of box A?
constraints between solids
This feature can be expected soon. It is scheduled to be included in VariCAD 2010 2.0.
