with which parameters and how many actions each of the parameters affects. You can also see which
parameter has its "Chain actions" property enabled. If you roll over an action in an Action bar, both the
associated parameter and affected geometry are highlighted.
Block Editor Settings
A new dialog box, launched with the command BESETTINGS, enables you to control all the settings for the
Block Editor environment in one place. You can apply colors to objects based on their constraint status, making
it easy to identify objects that are partially, fully, or over-constrained, or that have no constraints at all. The
system variable BCONSTATUSMODE controls whether this shading is used.
