Constrain Collinear

Fundamentals, Architect, Spotlight: Dims/Notes

Landmark: Basic

Multiple constraint tools share the same position on the tool set. Click and hold the mouse on the visible tool to open the Pop-out tools list and select the desired tool.

Constrain the collinearity between two linear objects. If one object is moved, the other constrained object moves to remain aligned. If the lines aren't collinear when you place the constraint, the first line moves to become collinear to the second line.

To constrain linear objects to be collinear:

Click the tool.

Click a line or line segment to constrain.

Click a second line or line segment to create the constraint.

Green collinear constraint indicators are drawn on the two lines.
