Apply coincident constraint

Use Coincident Constraint to constrain points to other geometries in 2D and 3D sketches.

1. On the ribbon, click Sketch tab Constrain panel Coincident Constraint .
2. Click the point to constrain.
3. Click the geometry to which the point is constrained.
4. Continue to place coincident constraints, or do one of the following to quit:
   • Right-click, and select Done.
   • Press Esc.
   • Select another command.

Note:

• A coincident constraint is automatically created on the endpoints of curves created in succession with the Line command.
• A point constrained to a curve can lie outside the extents of the curve.
• A point coincident with a curve slides along the curve so that the point can lie anywhere along the curve, unless other constraint or dimensions prevent the point from moving.
• A yellow dot denotes the presence of a coincident constraint. To display the yellow coincident constraint dot upon creation of the constraint, select Display Coincident Constraints in Sketch inSketch tab Constrains panel Constrain Settings - General tab . To identify the geometry affected by the constraint, hover over the yellow dot. The coincident constraint glyphs appear. Pause the cursor over a glyph to show the affected geometry.
