Add an parallel constraint to a sketch

Learn how to use the Parallel command to constrain two lines in a sketch so that they extend in the same direction and never intersect in Fusion.

Note: The constraint commands are only available in the Sketch contextual tab as you edit a sketch.
  1. Click Sketch > Constraints > Parallel parallel icon.

    The Parallel constraint icon displays next to the cursor in the canvas.

  2. In the canvas, select the sketch geometry you want to constrain.

The sketch geometry snaps into parallel alignment. A constraint badge displays next to the constrained geometry in the canvas, indicating that the geometry is constrained to remain parallel to each other.
