Locking |

By default, when you drag points in a Geometry Expressions model, it adjusts the variable values to accommodate the drag as best it can. For example, in the model of a four-bar linkage below, dragging point B changes lengths a and b and angle θ: ![]() However, you may wish the drag to act as if lines AB, BC, and CD were rigid, and only angle θ adjustable. To arrange this, lock all the variables except θ. Locking a variable applies only to its behavior when you drag the drawing. You can still assign it a value by entering it in the input field. |
