DmDistance3d applies a distance constraint between two entities. They can be subentities of the same solid or of different solids, as well as WCS entities, points, cylinders, and spheres.

Prompts you in the command bar:
Select a first entity or specify [Use as/WOrld/BLock]: (Select the first entity or choose an option.)
Hit the TAB key to select obscured geometry.
Enter a distance value or [Geometry-driven] <xxx.xx>: (Type the desired distance, or create geometry-driven constraint.)
Command Options

Option |
Description |
|
Use as |
Gives the option to specify how the distance must be measured between cylindrical and spherical faces. The default measurement mode is Axis. Prompts you: Specify how to use the argument [Boundary/Axis/Center/Vertex] <Axis>: - (Choose an option)

|
World |
Allows you to select the WCS as an argument. Prompts you: Select reference coordinate system subentity [Origin/X axis/Y axis/Z axis/XY plane/YZ plane/ZX plane] - (Select a reference coordinate system subentity as an argument.) |
|
Block |
Allows you to choose the subentity of the coordinate system of the block as an argument. Prompts you: Select block reference - (Select a block reference of which the reference coordinate system will be used as an argument.) Select reference coordinate system subentity [Origin/X axis/Y axis/Z axis/XY plane/YZ plane/ZX plane] - (Select a reference coordinate system subentity as an argument.) |

Geometry-driven |
Accepts the current value and creates geometry-driven constraints. |
