- [Instructor] Welcome to another tip and trick for AutoCAD. What we're going to be looking at in this particular tip and trick video is the geometric constraints available to you in AutoCAD. Now we've got a new drawing for you to use, it's called Geometric.dwg, surprise, surprise. You can download that from the library to follow along with this particular tip and tricks video. Now, we've got the drawn open and you can see it's formed of two arcs and some lines and obviously a circle and we're going to use the geometric constraints to basically make this geometrically accurate because you'll notice things like the arc and the line there, they're obviously not tangential to each other, for example. So, if you go to the Parametric tab on your AutoCAD ribbon, you'll notice that you've got this Geometric panel here. Now what we're going to do is we're going to look at a brilliant command in AutoCAD called auto constrain, so on the Geometric panel here, click on Auto Constrain and come…
