1. 5.2.a Geometric Constraints

2. Learning Objectives
Understand and be able to summarize the different constraints in Inventor
Apply constraints in completing an exercise on constraints

3. Open Inventor and Get out your notes
Constraints allow you to restrict the location and size of shapes in your drawing.
Using Inventor’s built in help you will summarize the Constraint tools available in your notes.
Be prepared to give a brief summary of the constraints to the class.
