Sumario:In the past few years, there has been a strong trend towards developing parametric, computer aided design systems based on geometric constraint solving. An efective way to capture the design intent in these systems is to define relationships between geometric and technological variables. In general, geometric constraint solving including functional relationships requires a general approach and appropiate techniques toachieve the expected functional capabilities. This work reports on a hybrid method which combines two geometric constraint solving techniques: Constructive and equational. The hybrid solver has the capability of managing functional relationships between dimension variables and variables representing conditions external to the geometric problem. The hybrid solver is described as a rewriting system and is shown to be correct.
