Description

Creates a vertical constraint to the selected lines or polyline elements. As of version 0.17 and above it can also constrain vertices vertically. More than one object can be selected.

Usage

  1. Select the lines or vertices to be constrained vertically
  2. To invoke the vertical constraint command:
    • Press the Constrain vertical.
    • Use the V keyboard shortcut
    • Use the Sketch → Sketcher constraints → Constrain vertically entry in the Sketch dropdown menu
  3. Alternatively, the tool can be started without prior selection, and it will expect a selection; but only lines will be selectable.
  4. Right-click or press Esc once, to exit the tool.
