which onstraints? assembly constraints or mechanica constraints, or sketcher constraints.
you can delete only sketcher constraints in sketcher mode. And its easy. Turn on contraints display and then select a constraint and then press the delete button on your keyboard.
Although it may be a PITA to try to select the appropriate constraint when you have different geometry sharing constraints in exactly the same location on screen.
A workaround is to add a conflicting constraint. ProE then suggests you to delete an offending constraint allowing you a visible cycle through the constraints and an exact kill of the one you're aiming at.
When it's difficult to select a particular constraint, right click on the constraint and select Pick from List. Select the constraint from the list andpress OK. The constraint should be highlighted in red - you can now press the delete keyto delete the constraint.
Remember that the section must always be completely constrained so if you delete a constraint Pro/E is either going to throw in more dimensions or other constraints. I think it is more productive to add dimensions or constraints first, that way you get what you need rather than some more inappropriate automatic dims. If you have soft dims & constraints Pro/E will delete them one by one. If they are all hard, you will get the over constrained dialog and you can select which one to delete like AHA-D said.
DR and AHA make some good points. I usually don't 'harden' all my constraints, so I've gotten into the habit of right click, select, delete if I don't wanta constraintI've added. I think I'll trytheir method and see how I like it - thanks guys!
