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 a circle or arc to be tangent to a line or to another circle or arc. If one object is moved, the other constrained object moves to remain tangent. If the objects aren't tangent to one another when you place the constraint, the first object moves to become tangent to the second object.
To constrain a circle, arc or line to be tangent to a circle or arc:
Click the tool.
Click an object to constrain.
Click a second object to create the constraint.
A green tangent constraint is drawn at the tangent point of the two objects.
