# Distance Constraint
> Keep an object within, beyond, or at a specific distance from another object.
## Adding a Distance Constraint
[YouTube video player](https://www.youtube.com/embed/Nvwf27EIvdw)
**1. Add a Distance Constraint**
Select an object, then add a **Distance Constraint** from the **Constraints** section of the Inspector.
**2. Choose a target**
Open the constraint's fly-out menu and select the object to use as the target.
**3. Move the target**
Move the target to see the constraint affect the constrained object. By default, the **Closer** mode keeps it within the specified distance.

## Properties
### Strength
**Strength** controls how much the constraint affects the object. At 0%, the constraint has no effect.
### Distance
**Distance** sets the distance used by the constraint. A red circle on the Stage represents this distance from the target.
### Mode
**Mode** determines how the constrained object can be positioned relative to the **Distance** value.
#### Closer
Keeps the constrained object within the specified distance from the target. When the target moves too far away, the object follows to stay within that distance.
#### Further
Keeps the constrained object beyond the specified distance from the target. When the target moves too close, it pushes the object away to maintain the minimum distance.
#### Exact
Keeps the constrained object exactly at the specified distance from the target. When the target moves, the object follows to maintain that distance.
