Rules and Constraints

In Capital E/E Publisher, you can use constraints to set properties and attributes on objects.

A constraint is a statement that can be set for a whole design only. Constraints are defined from within Capital Project Manager and cannot be defined in Capital E/E Publisher.

In Capital E/E Publisher, a rule is a group of constraints applicable to a whole design. You can define rules from within Capital Project Manager either at a project level, or you can define rule libraries at a system level. A rule library can be added to a project. See the Capital Project Manager help system for more information.
