For connections that are generated once, at particle birth.

Note: Constraints connections can be made visible in the xpEmitters Display tab by checking the Enable Display Constraints box.

Weight

The Weight setting alters the influence each constraint type provides to the overall, global solution; here it relates to the birth constraints.

If you are only using one layer, this can be left at the default, 100%.

If you are combining different constraints in several layers, you could reduce this weight to lessen the effects of the connections and blend in other layers.

Only Born

If enabled, this only makes connections between particles born at the same time.
