Description

Constrain Block blocks a geometric element in place with a single constraint.

It is mainly intended to be used with B-Splines, which can be difficult to fully constrain otherwise.

Usage

  1. Select an element to constrain.
  2. Press the Constrain Block button.

Or press the button first, and then select the elements.

Scripting

Sketch.addConstraint(Sketcher.Constraint('Block', Edge))

The Scripting Sketcher constraints in Python page explains the values which can be used for Edge and contains further examples on how to create constraints from Python scripts.
