| Summary | 0002263: Enable vertical and horizontal constraint for points | ||||
| Description | It would come in handy to set vertical or horizontal constraints for pairs of points. A vertical constraint for a pair of points would make them have the same horizontal position (hence they would be connected by a vertical line) A horizontal constraint would make them have the same vertical position. | ||||

It exists already... If you have a line between the points, you can set a vertical/horizontal constraint. If you want to do that on two points without a line connecting them, you can use a vertical or horizontal distance constraint set to zero... |

Well that's true, it is possible right now, but why not subscract a step from such a common operation? |

What about using a construction line and assign the vertical/horizontal constraint to it? What you request, while possible, does not seem to follow the logic behind the sketcher. I explain myself: 1. If you want to limit one of the degrees of freedom of one point, then what Yorik says fully applies. This is a logic common operation. 2. If you want to limit one of the degrees of freedom of two points to a same value within the same sketch, then you are implicitly reducing two degrees of freedom (one per point) to a same value. So you want in addition to a normal point contraining, that the value is the same. This is an overcomplicated definition of a line. Most CAD users will just use a construction line here. 3. If you want to limit one of the degrees of freedom of two points of a same or different sketch to the same value, you can also use Eric's expressions (in the very recent PPA builds). |

As in my last reply. This functionality exist either by fixing a point dimensions, using a construction line or using expressions. Each solution applies better to different problems. The one described by the reported seem to be the use of a construction line. |
