Sketcher ConstrainCoincident

Description[edit | edit source]

Applies Coincident constraints to endpoints with the same coordinates of the selected elements.

Usage[edit | edit source]

  1. Select the unconnected elements in the 3D view or in the Task panel on the left side of the screen
  2. Invoke the command using several methods:
    • Press the Connect edges button.
    • Use the Z then J keyboard shortcut.
    • Use the Sketch → Sketcher tools → Connect edges entry from the top menu.

Notes[edit | edit source]

Before using this command make sure that obvious constraints (horizontal, vertical, tangential) are already applied to the elements. Selecting the elements in a counter-clock-wise order seems to produce better results.
