Constraint overview, settings, and types
- Constraints overview Constraints are geometric rules that define the relationship between sketch elements on the same plane. They allow yo...
- Constraint Settings The Constraint Settings option is where you can adjust options related to constraints. You can find this option in t...
- Adding and removing constraints You can add and remove constraints in a sketch by using options in the constraints menu and constraint icons in the m...
- Parallel Parallel lines have the same distance continuously between them. The Parallel constraint creates a parallel relation...
- Perpendicular Perpendicular lines have a right angle (90°) between them. You can use the Perpendicular constraint between sketch e...
- Tangent You can use the Tangent constraint to create a tangent relationship between sketch elements. A line is tangent to a ...
- Coincident When geometric elements are coincident, it means they are overlapping. You can use the Coincident constraint to make...
- Midpoint You can use the Midpoint constraint to connect an endpoint with the center of a line. This constraint ensures that t...
- Concentric Concentric arcs share the same center point. You can use the Concentric constraint to create a concentric relationsh...
- Horizontal/Vertical You can use the Horizontal/Vertical constraint to create a horizontal or vertical relationship between linear sketch...
- Equal The Equal constraint creates an equal length for selected lines and an equal radius for selected arcs and circles.Pr...
- Symmetry Symmetrical elements lie on opposite sides of an axis of symmetry and behave as mirror images of each other. You can ...
- Disconnect The Disconnect constraint is used to break the connection between connected points. Prefer video? ▶️ Jump to walkthr...
- Lock/Unlock The Lock/Unlock constraint fixes a selected sketch element in its current position and the Unlock constraint remove...
- Make construction You can use Make Construction to convert your sketch elements into construction geometry. Construction sketch geomet...
