Adding a Distance Constraint

1

Add a Distance Constraint

Select an object, then add a Distance Constraint from the Constraints section of the Inspector.
2

Choose a target

Open the constraint’s fly-out menu and select the object to use as the target.
3

Move the target

Move the target to see the constraint affect the constrained object. By default, the Closer mode keeps it within the specified distance.

​
Properties

​
Strength

Strength controls how much the constraint affects the object. At 0%, the constraint has no effect.

​
Distance

Distance sets the distance used by the constraint. A red circle on the Stage represents this distance from the target.

​
Mode

Mode determines how the constrained object can be positioned relative to the Distance value.

​
Closer

Keeps the constrained object within the specified distance from the target. When the target moves too far away, the object follows to stay within that distance.

​
Further

Keeps the constrained object beyond the specified distance from the target. When the target moves too close, it pushes the object away to maintain the minimum distance.

​
Exact

Keeps the constrained object exactly at the specified distance from the target. When the target moves, the object follows to maintain that distance.
