Description

The Sketcher RemoveAxesAlignment tool removes the axes alignment of selected elements by replacing Horizontal and Vertical constraints with Parallel and Perpendicular constraints. The elements can then be rotated without losing their orthogonal relationship.

Usage

  1. Select one or more elements with axes alignment, for example a rectangle.
  2. There are several ways to invoke the tool:
    • Press the Remove axes alignment button.
    • Select the Sketch → Sketcher tools → Remove axes alignment option from the menu.
    • Use the keyboard shortcut: Z then R.

Example

A selected rectangle with horizontal and vertical constraints.
