Description
The Sketcher ConstrainDistanceY tool fixes the vertical distance between two points or the endpoints of a line. If a single point is pre-selected, the distance is relative to the origin of the sketch.
Usage
See also: Drawing aids.
Continue mode
- Make sure there is no selection.
- There are several ways to invoke the tool:
- introduced in version 1.0: If the Dimensioning constraints preference is set to
Single tool
(default): press the down arrow to the right of the button and select the Constrain vertical distance option from the dropdown. - If this preference has a different value (and in version 0.21 and below): press the Constrain vertical distance button.
- Select the Sketch → Sketcher constraints → Constrain vertical distance option from the menu.
- introduced in version 1.0: Right-click in the 3D view and select the Dimension → Constrain vertical distance option from the context menu.
- Use the keyboard shortcut: I.
- introduced in version 1.0: If the Dimensioning constraints preference is set to
- For further steps see Sketcher ConstrainDistanceX
Run-once mode
See Sketcher ConstrainDistanceX.
Scripting
Distance from origin:
Sketch.addConstraint(Sketcher.Constraint('DistanceY', Edge, PointOfEdge, -1, 1, App.Units.Quantity('123.0 mm')))
Distance between two vertices:
Sketch.addConstraint(Sketcher.Constraint('DistanceY', Edge1, PointOfEdge1, Edge2, PointOfEdge2, App.Units.Quantity('123.0 mm')))
Vertical span of line (the GUI allows selecting the edge itself, but it is just a shorthand for using the two extremities of the same line):
Sketch.addConstraint(Sketcher.Constraint('DistanceY', Line, 1, Line, 2, App.Units.Quantity('123.0 mm')))
The Sketcher scripting page explains the values which can be used for Edge
, Edge1
, Edge2
, PointOfEdge
, PointOfEdge1
, PointOfEdge2
and Line
, and contains further examples on how to create constraints from Python scripts.
