Description
The Sketcher ConstrainHorVer command constrains lines or pairs of points to be horizontal (parallel to the horizontal axis of the sketch) or vertical, whichever is closest to the current alignment.
This command combines the Sketcher ConstrainHorizontal and Sketcher ConstrainVertical commands.
Usage
- Optionally do one of the following:
- Select two or more points (the selection order can be relevant see Notes).
- Select two or more lines. Points can be included in the selection, but will be ignored.
- There are several ways to invoke the command:
- Press the Horizontal/Vertical button.
- Select the Sketch → Sketcher constraints → Horizontal/Vertical option from the menu.
- Use the keyboard shortcut: A.
- To indicate that the command has been activated the cursor changes to a white cross with the command icon.
- Optionally keep selecting elements. You can only select a single line or two points at a time now.
- To finish the command press Esc or the right mouse button, or start a another constraints or geometries command.
Notes
- More than 2 points are processed in the selection order, one pair at a time. The 1st point is paired with the 2nd. When they are constrained the 2nd point may move. The new location of the 2nd point determines which constraint is applied when the 2nd and 3rd point are constrained, etc.
