How do you list all constraints on an entity and edit them

[Agno]

I frequently find myself a victim to an "automated constraint".

Once that constraint is in place, getting rid of it is a pain such that I often have to delete the entity and start over.

Is there a way to select an entity (line, circle, whatever) and list all constraints on it such that you can then select which to keep?

Some constraints don't seem to make little icons like others do. If I accidentally draw a circle too close to an axis and the center of the circle becomes bound to that axis, getting the circle center off the axis seems near impossible for me.

Holding the control key will allow you to break most automatic constraints. In your example, hold control and drag the centre off the line.
As to your main question, I'm pretty sure the answer is No.

Well, the control thing indeed works. Thank you.

I kind of figured on the list thing, as I think I went through every menu and tool and couldn't come up with anything.

I do wish it had a Display/Edit Constraints interface like SolidWorks. Would be super convenient for cherry picking constraints to delete, as well as being able to replace references if something breaks.

I am having the same issue when I have a 2D sketch open, lots of points imported from a file to work off of. the constraints and snaps go nuts and you can't undo a constraint once it's secretly jumped into your drawing. What am I doing wrong?

I haven’t fully figured this out yet.

You can hold control and break some constraints when dragging.

I end up deleting elements, drawing them purposefully incorrect, and then applying constraints one by one to make sure I get what I need.

Not being able to tell the total set of constraints on an element makes auto constraints more of a liability than a feature.

I wish there was the ability to use a modifier key to block any constraint being applied. It's ridiculous that you have to zoom right in to avoid unintentionally applying a constraint!
