I wanted to know what constraints do on Inventor and how to use them. From the Autodesk website, I found that constraints prevent objects from changing as you add or move parts. I also found a tutorial that explains how to use constraints:

There are two main categories of constraints -- assembly and motion. Assembly is used for joining pieces together, and within it there are 4 types of constraints:
- Mate: attach flat surfaces
- Angle: attach surfaces at an angle
- Tangent: attach a round surface to a flat or round surface
- Insert: put a round object into another round object
The motion constraints are more complicated and are only used for moving parts.
