2,504 PointsHi Dex,
I think I understand what you're asking. The constraints are just implemented based on where the element is positioned (centred, distance from top, etc.) It's a built in functionality to make things easier for developers (I believe, I don't work for Apple or anything but that's my guess). You can edit them after you position the element manually, but if you wanted it to stay where you put it originally then the constraints are already mapped for you.
Hope that helps,
Imran

5,321 PointsThanks for replying Imran! But do you mean the auto-layout at work here? Because actually I get the signs of ambiguity there (you know the dotted lines) - not the whole blue lines like in the video...
