Fusion 360 Modeling for Makers, Lesson 12 - Mastering Sketch Constraints (1) Horizontal/Vertical,...
This section explains sketch constraints, the most important constraints in the sketching process.
In CAD, sketch constraints are meant to:
impose specific restrictions on each sketch object.
In sketch creation,
they allow the user to easily position and align sketch lines as intended.
In sketch editing,
they prevent sketch lines from being distorted unintentionally.
In Part 1, we'll learn about Horizontal/Vertical constraints and Coincident constraints.
ㆍThere are 12 sketch constraints that users can manually set from the toolbar.
ㆍSketch constraint icons: Glyph
ㆍ(Automatic) constraint placement methods, order, and (automatic) constraint release methods.
ㆍTwo methods for applying Horizontal/Vertical constraints.
ㆍWhat is the order of point placement in a coincident constraint?
