Floating Constraints

[Anonymous]

When checking constraints in the Sketch mode, selecting Show All Constraints, the constraint list bars are displayed, stacked on top of each other, but I don't want then stacked, so I can not view all of the constraints. So, I move then, until they are aligned with the proper constrained points. When I select Hide All Constraints and then I again select Show All Constraints, there all stacked again. At the same time, the constraints have floated all over the place. Are these constraints undisciplined and questioning my command authority? Is there a procedure to stop these undisciplined constraints from stacking and floating? Thanks, Bob

First, I almost never Show All Constraints because I am usually only interested in the constraints on a couple of entities. But if I do then I zoom in as much as possible before displaying. But I can't remember doing a Show All within the past two years until just now.

I also only show constraints of those entities I am actually having issues with. As regards who is in control ..... you only think you have control, your command authority is limited to issuing, there is no assurance of compliance.
