Relation and Type Example and Notes
Along X

Inferred

sketch_relation_alongX.gif

Horizontal line sketched along X axis. Applies to 3D sketches.

Along Y

Inferred

sketch_relation_alongY.gif

Vertical line sketched along Y axis. Applies to 3D sketches.

Along Z

Inferred

sketch_relation_alongZ.gif

Horizontal line sketched along Z axis. Applies to 3D sketches.

Coincident

Inferred

sketch_relation_coincident.gif

Second circle sketched coincident to first circle.

Colinear

Added

sketch_relation_collinear.gif

Colinear relation added to the first two horizontal lines.

Concentric

Added

sketch_relations_concentric.gif
Coradial

Added

sketch_relation_coradial.gif

Coradial relation added to the inner arcs.

Equal

Added

sketch_relation_same_length.gif

Equal relation added to all inner circles. This way, you set the diameter for only one circle.

Equal Curvature

Added

sketch_relation_equal_curvature.gif

The rate of change of the slope (curvature) is the same at the point shared between the curves (C2 continuous).

Equal Slots

Added

sketch_relation_equal_slots.gif
Fix

Added

sketch_relation_fix.gif

Fixed relation added to point.

Fix Slot

Added

sketch_relation_fix_slot.gif
Horizontal

Added

sketch_relations_horizontal-added.gif

Horizontal relation added to spline handles.

Intersection

Inferred or added

sketch_relation_intersection.gif

Relation added at the intersection of the point and two lines. If you sketch the lines and points so they intersect, the relation is inferred.

Merge

Added

sketch_relation_after_merge.gif

The endpoint of the line and the point on the rectangle are merged to create one point.

Midpoint

Inferred or Added

sketch_relation_midpoint.gif

Construction line sketched from the midpoint of the diagonal line.

Normal

Added

sketch_relation_normal.gif

Normal relation added between the line and plane.

Offset

Inferred

sketch_relation_offset.gif

Larger rectangle is offset by 10 from the smaller rectangle using the Offset Entities Tool_Offset_Entities_Sketch.gif tool.

On Edge

Inferred

sketch_relation_on_edge.gif

Edges of the solid are projected to the sketch plane using the Convert Entities Tool_Convert_Entities_Sketch.gif tool.

On Plane

Inferred and Added

sketch_relation_on_plane.gif

Any geometry sketched on a plane.

On Surface

Inferred

sketch_relation_on_surface.gif

Point sketched on a surface.

Parallel

Inferred

sketch_relations_parallel.gif

Two lines sketched with parallel relation.

Parallel YZ

Added

sketch_relation_parallelYZ.gif

Parallel relation added to the 3D line and front plane.

Parallel ZX

Added

sketch_relation_parallelZX.gif

Parallel relation added to the 3D line and front plane.

Perpendicular

Inferred

sketch_relations_perpendicular.gif

Second line sketched perpendicular to first line.

Pierce

Added

sketch_relation_pierce.gif

Pierce relation added between sketch point and vertical line.

Symmetric

Inferred or Added

sketch_relation_symmetric.gif

Relations added using the Mirror Entities Tool_Mirror_Entities_Sketch.gif or Dynamic Mirror Tool_Dynamic_Mirror_Entities_Sketch.gif tool.

Tangent

Added

sketch_relation_tangent.gif

Tangent relation added to two splines.

Tangent to Face

Added

sketch_relation_tangent_to_face.gif

Same slope at the edge of intersection between the face and spline (C1 continuous).

See Tangent to Face Relations with Splines.

Traction See Using Traction and Belts for Layout Sketches.
Vertical

Inferred

sketch_relation_vertical.gif

Circle sketched with center inferred to sketch origin.
