Note: The order you select the line and point does not matter. The point will always move to line. In other words, the line remains fixed.

Scripting
The constraint can be created from macros and from the Python console by using the following command:


 * is a sketch object.
 * is the number that designates the line, which contains the point that has to be moved onto the (the line which is fixed).
 * is the number of the vertex of line, that has to be moved onto the.
 * is the number of the line to be affixed onto the point.

The Sketcher scripting page explains how to identify the numbers that designate lines and points.
