geometric constraints

Geometric constraints are rules that define how objects relate to each other in space. They specify positions, angles, distances, or alignments to ensure objects behave in a particular way within a design or system. For example, a constraint might keep two parts always the same distance apart or ensure a line stays horizontal. These constraints help control and modify the shape, size, and position of objects without manually changing each element, making complex designs more precise and manageable. They are essential in engineering, architecture, and CAD software for creating accurate and consistent models.
