Constrain a circle, arc or line to be tangent to another circle or arc. If one object is moved, the other object it is constrained to adjusts to maintain the tangency. Objects do not need to be tangent to one another when placing the constraints; the first object moves to become tangent to the second.
To constrain a circle, arc or line to be tangent to a circle or arc:
1. Click the Constrain Tangent tool from the Dims/Notes tool set.
2. Click on the circle or arc to constrain.
The cursor switches to the bull’s-eye cursor.
3. Click on the circle, arc or line to be constrained.
A green tangent constraint is drawn at the tangent point of the two objects.
