# Add Relations
Create constraints between sketches and sketches, sketches and external elements.

Select elements:Select sketch elements in the viewport and fill them into the list automatically. When the mouse points to the edge of the circle, you can directly capture the center of the circle after a short pause.
Existing Constraints:Displays constraints that were automatically added during the drawing process of the selected sketch or generated using the add constraint. When you select an item in the list, the corresponding element in the graphics area is highlighted.
Add Constraint:You can add a constraint to the selected element. The manifest contains only the constraints that the selected element might use.
# Sketch Constraint Description
Restraint | Icon | Select the element | The constraint effect created |
---|---|---|---|
Horizontal Vertical | One or more lines, or two or more points | Lines become horizontal or vertical, and points are aligned horizontally or vertically | |
Collinear | Two or more lines, two or more circles, where at least one is the current sketch line and at most one outer element | The selected element is located in the same infinitely long line, with concentric circles or arcs | |
Equal | Two or more straight lines, two or more arcs | The selected elements are equal in length and radius | |
Perpendicular | Two straight lines, at least one of which is the current sketch line | The two lines are perpendicular to each other | |
Parallel | Two or more lines, at least one of which is the current sketch line | The selected elements are parallel to each other | |
Tangent | Arc, spline, or straight line, which must be the same as the arc or spline | The two elements remain tangential | |
Point On Curve | Points versus lines, arcs, or splines, and the points must be elements within the current sketch | The point remains on the selected element | |
Concentric Circle | The starting point of the point, the center of the circle, the line | The two elements remain coincident | |
Fix | Points, lines | The selected element is fixed in position | |
Penetrate | Points, lines, and outer curves in the current sketch | Points, lines, and projection points of external elements on the current sketch plane coincide | |
Crosspoint | Select a point, two lines | The selected point remains coincident at the intersection of the two selected lines | |
Symmetry | Two lines and a center line | The two lines are symmetrical about the center line |
