Use the Parameters Manager to manage constraints in a drawing

- [Narrator] Welcome to another AutoCAD tips and tricks video. Now you may have already covered my tips and tricks regarding geometric and dimensional constraints in your AutoCAD drawings. What we're going to look at in more detail in this particular tips and tricks video is the parameters that are specified both geometrically and dimensionally in a constrained drawing, so you can see we've got a new drawing here for you, it's called parameters.dwg and you can download it from the library to follow along with this particular tips and tricks video. Now at the moment, in the parameters.dwg file, you can see that the dimensional constraints are displayed and they're the ones that you need to be displayed. So you'll notice in the parametric tab on the ribbon that all of the geometric parameters there, can you see, are all displayed now; you want to make sure that all of your geometric parameters and constraints are hidden, so hide all in the geometric panel like that. So all you can see…
