Description

Fixes the horizontal distance between 2 points or line ends. If only one item is selected, the distance is set to the sketch origin.

Usage

  1. Pick one or two points
  2. Press the Constrain horizontal distance button.

Note: the constraint tool can also be started with no prior selection, but will require selection of two points, including the the sketch origin point to set the distance to the origin. By default the command will be in continue mode to create new constraints; press the right mouse button or ESC once to quit the command.
