Description
The Sketcher ConstrainHorizontal tool constrains lines or pairs of points to be horizontal (parallel to the horizontal axis of the sketch).
introduced in version 0.22: In most cases it is advisable to use the combined Sketcher ConstrainHorVer tool instead.
Usage
See also: Drawing aids.
Continue mode
- Make sure there is no selection.
- There are several ways to invoke the tool:
- introduced in version 0.22: If the Auto tool for Horizontal/Vertical preference is selected (default): press the down arrow to the right of the button and select the Constrain horizontally option from the dropdown.
- If this preference is not selected (and in version 0.21 and below): press the Constrain horizontally button.
- Select the Sketch → Sketcher constraints → Constrain horizontally option from the menu.
- Use the keyboard shortcut: H.
- The cursor changes to a white cross with the tool icon.
- Do one of the following:
- Select two points.
- Select a single line.
- A constraint is added.
- Optionally keep creating constraints.
- To finish, right-click or press Esc, or start another geometry or constraint creation tool.
Run-once mode
- Do one of the following:
- Select two or more points.
- Select one or more lines. Points can be included in the selection, but will be ignored.
- Invoke the tool as explained above, or with the following additional option:
- introduced in version 0.22: Right-click in the 3D view and select the Constrain horizontally option from the context menu.
- Depending on the selection one or more constraints are added.
Scripting
Sketch.addConstraint(Sketcher.Constraint('Horizontal', Line))
The Sketcher scripting page explains the values which can be used for Line
and contains further examples on how to create constraints from Python scripts.
