# autoConfigureDistance

> Should the distance be calculated automatically?

## Definition

* **Type:** Property

* **Assembly:** UnityEngine.Physics2DModule

```csharp
public bool autoConfigureDistance { get; set; }
```

### Remarks

When true, the `distance` property will be calculated automatically to match the distance between the `anchor` and `connectedAnchor` properties.  When false, the distance can be configured using the `distance` property.
