To create constraints, select ConstraintCreate from the main menu bar. A Create Constraint dialog box appears in which you can specify the name and type of the constraint. Click Continue to specify the regions to which to apply the constraint (if applicable) and to display the editor in which you can enter the data necessary to define the constraint.

Each constraint editor displays the name and type of the constraint you are defining in the top panel of the dialog box. The format of the rest of the editor varies depending on the type of constraint you are defining. For example, the tie constraint editor is shown in Figure 15–7.

You can display information on a particular editor feature by selecting HelpOn Context from the main menu bar and then clicking the editor feature of interest. For detailed instructions on creating constraints, see “Using the constraint editors,” Section 15.14.
