Explain how geometric constraints communicate CAD design intent before numeric dimensions are added.
The move: constrain relationships before you chase full definition. A sketch can be fully defined and still be hard to trust. That happens when numbers are used as substitutes for relationships. If two holes should always share a centerline, an equal-distance workaround is weaker than a symmetry or construction-line relationship. If an arc should meet a line smoothly, a tangent constraint says that directly. If two features should resize together, equal geometry may be clearer than repeated dimensions. Think of constraints as 5S for design logic. Sort real edges from construction helpers. Set in order the relationships that carry intent.…
