Constraint Length constrains the length of a line, the perpendicular distance between a point and a line or the distance between two points to have a specified value.
<WRONG> This tool draws an arc by picking three points: the center, the start angle along the radius, and the end angle.


====Operation====
When starting the tool, the mouse pointer changes to a white cross with a red arc icon. The coordinates of the pointer are shown beside it in blue in real time.

====Usage====

<WRONG> * Pick points on an empty area of the 3D view, or on an existing object (auto constraints must be active in TaskView).
* Pressing {{KEY|ESC}} or clicking the right mouse button cancels the function. </WRONG>
