ConstraintType Property

CDXML Name:ConstraintType
CDX Constant Name:kCDXProp_ConstraintType
CDX Constant Value:0x0B83
Data Size:INT8
Property of objects:kCDXObj_Constraint
First written/read in:ChemDraw 8.0
Required?No

Description:

The constraint type (distance, angle, or exclusion sphere).

For the purpose of Constraint objects based on other objects:

This is an enumerated property. Acceptible values are shown in the following list:
Value CDXML Name Description
0 Undefined The type of constraint is undefined.
1 Distance The kCDXProp_BasisObjects property should be present and contain an unordered list of two other objects: two points, a point and a line, or a point and a plane. The kCDXProp_ConstraintMin and kCDXProp_ConstraintMax properties will contain the minimum and maximum acceptable distances that define the constraint range (both values in Angstroms).
2 Angle The kCDXProp_BasisObjects property should be present and contain one of four set of objects: an ordered list of three points (constraining the A-B-C angle), an ordered list of four points (constraining the A-B-C-D dihedral angle), an unordered pair of lines (constraining the angle between the lines), or an unordered pair of planes (constraining the dihedral angle between the planes). The kCDXProp_ConstraintMin and kCDXProp_ConstraintMax properties contain the minimum and maximum acceptable angles that define the constraint range (both values in degrees).
3 ExclusionSphere The kCDXProp_BasisObjects property should be present and contain a list of at least one point. The Exclusion Sphere will be centered around the first point in the list. If additional points are present, those points are assumed to be allowed within the radious of the sphere. The kCDXProp_ConstraintMin and kCDXProp_ConstraintMax properties contain the minimum and maximum acceptable radii that define the exclusion sphere (both values in Angstroms). Under most normal cases, the kCDXProp_ConstraintMin for an exclusion sphere will be zero. A non-zero value would indicate a shell (hollow sphere of some thickness) rather than the usual solid sphere.

If this property is absent:

The type will be treated as Undefined.
