Description

Applies Coincident constraints to endpoints with the same coordinates of the selected elements.

Usage

  1. Select the elements in the 3D view or in the Task panel on the left side of the screen
  2. Invoke the command using several methods:
    • Press the Connect lines button.
    • Use the Ctrl + Shift + K keyboard shortcut.
    • Use the Sketch → Sketcher tools → Connect Edges entry from the top menu.
