Description

The Sketcher ConstrainParallel tool constrains lines to be parallel.

Usage

See also: Drawing aids.

Continue mode

  1. Make sure there is no selection.
  2. There are several ways to invoke the tool:
    • Press the Constrain parallel button.
    • Select the Sketch → Sketcher constraints → Constrain parallel option from the menu.
    • introduced in version 1.0: Right-click in the 3D view and select the Constrain → Constrain parallel option from the context menu.
    • Use the keyboard shortcut: P.
  3. The cursor changes to a cross with the tool icon.
  4. Select two lines.
  5. A constraint is added.
  6. Optionally keep creating constraints.
  7. To finish, right-click or press Esc, or start another geometry or constraint creation tool.

Run-once mode

  1. Select two or more lines. introduced in version 1.0: Points can be included in the selection, but will be ignored.
  2. Invoke the tool as explained above, or with the following additional option:
  3. Depending on the selection one or more constraints are added.

Scripting

Sketch.addConstraint(Sketcher.Constraint('Parallel', Line1, Line2))

The Sketcher scripting page explains the values which can be used for Line1 and Line2 and contains further examples on how to create constraints from Python scripts.
