    Description

    Constrain Block blocks a geometric element in place with a single constraint.

    It is mainly intended to be used with Sketcher CreateBSpline.svg B-splines, which can be difficult to fully constrain otherwise.

    Usage

    1. Select an element to constrain.
    2. Press the Sketcher ConstrainBlock.svg Constrain block button.

    Or press the button first, and then select the elements.

    Scripting

    Sketch.addConstraint(Sketcher.Constraint('Block', Edge))
    

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