Description

The Sketcher ConstrainLock tool applies Horizontal distance and Vertical distance constraints to points. If a single point is selected the constraints reference the sketch origin. If two or more points are selected the constraints reference the last selected point.

Usage

See also: Drawing aids.

Continue mode

  1. Make sure there is no selection.
  2. There are several ways to invoke the tool:
    • introduced in version 1.0: If the Dimensioning constraints preference is set to Single tool (default): press the down arrow to the right of the button and select the Constrain lock option from the dropdown.
    • If this preference has a different value (and in version 0.21 and below): press the Constrain lock button.
    • Select the Sketch → Sketcher constraints → Constrain lock option from the menu.
    • introduced in version 1.0: Right-click in the 3D view and select the Dimension → Constrain lock option from the context menu.
    • Use the keyboard shortcut: K then L.
  3. The cursor changes to a cross with the tool icon.
  4. Select a single point.
  5. Two constraints are 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 one or more points.
  2. Invoke the tool as explained above.
  3. Depending on the selection two or more constraints are added.

Notes

  • There is no automatic prompt to edit the constraint values. If required values can be edited manually.
