The expressions that you define can include a variety of predefined functions
and constants.

Control the Display of Dimensional Constraints
You can display or hide dynamic and annotational constraints within a
drawing.
Display or Hide Dynamic Constraints
You can hide all dynamic constraints to reduce clutter when you want to work
with geometric constraints only, or when you need to continue other work
in the drawing. You can turn on their display when needed from the ribbon
or with the DCDISPLAY command.
By default, if you select an object associated with a hidden dynamic constraint,
all dynamic constraints associated with that object are temporarily displayed.
You can display or hide the dynamic constraints for all objects or for a selection
set.
Display or Hide Annotational Constraints
You control the display of annotational constraints as you would with
dimension objects—you assign them to a layer and turn the layer on or off as
needed. You can also specify object properties for annotational constraints
such as dimension style, color, and lineweight.
Modify Objects with Dimensional Constraints Applied
You can control lengths, distances, and angles of objects by changing
constraint values, by manipulating dimensional constraints using grips, or by
changing user variables or expressions associated with dimensional constraints.
