Setting priorities to constraints

When you have multiple constraints, you can modify the default level of priority in the Priority group of the following constraints:

  • Local Resolution Constraint

  • Contact Prevention Constraint

  • Auto Refinement Constraint

When you specify two or more of these constraints, the software applies the constraints based on priority.

If the priority levels of the constraints are different:

  • The software applies the constraint with the higher priority first.

If the priority levels of the constraints are equal, the software applies the constraints in the following order:

  1. The auto refinement and contact prevention constraints with the finest minimum resolution.

  2. The local resolution constraint with the smallest selection region.

If the priority levels and selection regions are equal:

  • The software applies the local resolution constraint with the finest resolution first.
