BIGAL Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Look up help about constraints and dynamic blocks, that is what the text is measurement d12 = 5.25 so will lock on to that spacing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadgad Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 As BIGAL said, those indicate Parametric Constraints are engaged. They can be turned off, or changed, but they are there for a reason, presumably the person who created this drawing had a good reason for using them.
