<WRONG> This tool draws an arc by picking three points: the center, the start angle along the radius, and the end angle.

When starting the tool, the mouse pointer changes to a white cross with a red arc icon. The coordinates of the pointer are shown beside it in blue in real time.
The Horizontal Constraint forces a selected line or lines in the sketch to be parallel to the horizontal axis of the sketch.

Description

The Horizontal Constraint forces a selected line or lines in the sketch to be parallel to the horizontal axis of the sketch.

Usage

Select a line in the sketch by clicking on it.

The line turns dark green.

Apply the Horizontal Constraint by clicking on the Horizontal Constraint icon in the Sketcher Constraints toolbar or by selecting the Constrain horizontally menu item in the Sketcher constraints sub menu of the Sketcher menu item in the Sketcher work bench (or the Part Design menu item of the Part Design work bench). The selected line is constrained to be parallel to the horizontal axis of the sketch.

Multiple lines may be selected,

and then applying the constraint as described above, they are constrained to be parallel to the sketch horizontal axis.
