Constrain Parallel

Constrain linear objects or line segments to be parallel to one another. If one object is rotated, the object constrained to it rotates to remain parallel to the first object. Lines do not need to be parallel when placing the constraints; the first line rotates to match the angle of the second line.

To constrain linear objects or line segments to be parallel:

1. Click the Constrain Parallel tool from the Dims/Notes tool set.

2. Click on the line to constrain.

The cursor switches to the bull’s-eye cursor.

3. Click on the line to be constrained.

Green parallel constraint indicators are drawn around the two lines.
