Description
The Sketcher ConstrainParallel tool constrains lines to be parallel.
Usage
See also: Drawing aids.
Continue mode
- Make sure there is no selection.
- There are several ways to invoke the tool:
- Press the Constrain parallel button.
- Select the Sketch → Sketcher constraints → Constrain parallel option from the menu.
- introduced in version 0.22: Right-click in the 3D view and select the Constrain → Constrain parallel option from the context menu.
- Use the keyboard shortcut: P.
- The cursor changes to a white cross with the tool icon.
- Select two lines.
- 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
- Select two or more lines. introduced in version 0.22: 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 parallel option from the context menu.
- Depending on the selection one or more constraints are added.
Scripting
Sketch.addConstraint(Sketcher.Constraint('Parallel', Line1, Line2))
The Sketcher scripting page explains the values which can be used for Line1
and Line2
and contains further examples on how to create constraints from Python scripts.
