Comments

•  INCIDENT DIAGNOSIS:
  You want to constraint a geometrical element, using the
  "Constraint defined in a dialog box" command.
  When you exit the panel by on button "Ok", the constraint
  is not created. This is due to the fact that you didn't
  check the "Create detected constraint" option before
  clicking on the "Ok" button.
  
   CORRECT APPLICATION:
  To allow the positioning of geometrical element without
  constraint creation (i.e. parallel lines, etc), the "Constraint
  defined in dialog box" command is taking into account the
  the "Create constraint" option.
  If this option is off, the constraint is not created, the
  elements are just re-positionned. You can turn on/off this
  option before using the command, thru the menu Tools/Options/
  Drafting/"Geometry" tab, "Create detected and feature based
  constraint" check button.
  This option can also be modified, before or during the command,
  using the "Create Detected Constraints" icon in the "Tools"
  toolbar.
