may kink if they are reshaped.

Add Constraints to Geometry

With parametric drawing, you can add constraints to geometry to ensure that
the design conforms to specified requirements.

Overview of Constraints

NOTE This topic has been included for AutoCAD-compatibility purposes only. In
AutoCAD LT, parametric drawing technology is limited to displaying and hiding
constraints, editing constrained geometry, and changing values at the Command
prompt.
Parametric drawing is a technology that is used for designing with constraints.
Constraints are associations and restrictions applied to 2D geometry.
There are two general types of constraints:
Geometric constraints control the relationships of objects with respect to
each other
Dimensional constraints control the distance, length, angle, and radius
values of objects
