Sketcher ConstrainCoincident

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 listbox on the left side of the screen
  2. Invoke the command using several methods:
    • Press on the button in the toolbar.
    • Use the Ctrl + Shift + K keyboard shortcut.
    • Use the Sketch → Sketcher tools → Connect Edges entry from the top menu.

Notes

Before using this command make sure that obvious constraints (horizontal, vertical, tangential) are already applied to the elements. Selecting the elements in a counter-clock-wise order seems to produce better results.
