"Create a coincident constraint on the selected item"

Description

This constraint tool takes two points as its argument and serves to make the two points coincident. (Meaning to make them as-one-point). In practical terms this constraint tool is useful when there is a break in a profile for example - where two lines end near each other and need to be joined - a coincident constraint on their end-points will close the gap.

Usage

As stated above, this tool takes two arguments - both are points.

  1. Firstly it is necessary to highlight two distinct points. (Note this will not work if, for example, you attempt to select the start and end point of the same line).
  2. Highlighting of a drawing item is achieved by moving the mouse over the item and clicking the left-mouse-button.
  3. A highlighted item will change colour to green.
  4. Subsequent items can be highlighted by repeating the above procedure(s) NOTE: There is no-need to hold-down any special key like Ctrl to achieve multiple item selection in a drawing.
  5. Once you have two points highlighted, left-clicking on the 'PointOnPoint' constraint will cause the two points to become coincident and be replaced by a single point.

NOTE: In order to make two points coincident, FreeCAD must necessarily move one, or both, of the original points.
