How is a geometric constraint different from a numeric constraint?

Answer 1

Dealing with engineering or CAD, a geometric constraint deals with constraints such as parallel or perpendicularity. A numeric constraint deals with distances and size. Width, length, and depth are examples of these.

--------

Geometric constraints are constant, non-numerical relationships between the parts of a geometric figure. Numeric constraints are number values, or algebraic equations that are used to control the size or location of a geometric figure :)

Answer 2

A geometric constraint is different from a numeric constraint because a geometric deals with non-numerical relationships.

Answer 3

Assembly constraints are very different from geometric and numerical constraints. They are all relevant in the fact that they all are dealing with the constraints placed upon an object. Once past that though they really are not all that similar. Assembly constrains is something that specifies the place or position were two objects meet and the relationship between them. Geometric constraints differ in that they have to deal with constraints of parallel and perpendicular lines. Numeric constraints deal with distance and size of an object; a few examples are length, width, and depth.

Geometric constraints ate constant and numeric constraints are number values.
