lightbulb tips :After the constraint manager node is created, if you want to lock it to the other viewport,

just active the viewport, use the "Lock ConstraintManager to Active View" to lock the node to it.

If you do not want to lock the node in viewport, use "Unlock ConstraintManager from View";

If you want to scale up or down the constraint manager node, use the "Icon Size" attribute of the node.
