Sketch Relations Icons
| Relation and Type | Example and Notes |
|---|---|
| Along X Inferred |
Horizontal line sketched along X axis. Applies to 3D sketches. |
| Along Y Inferred |
Vertical line sketched along Y axis. Applies to 3D sketches. |
| Along Z Inferred |
Horizontal line sketched along Z axis. Applies to 3D sketches. |
| Coincident Inferred |
Second circle sketched coincident to first circle. |
| Colinear Added |
Colinear relation added to the first two horizontal lines. |
| Concentric Added |
|
| Coradial Added |
Coradial relation added to the inner arcs. |
| Equal Added |
Equal relation added to all inner circles. This way, you set the diameter for only one circle. |
| Equal Curvature Added |
The rate of change of the slope (curvature) is the same at the point shared between the curves (C2 continuous). |
| Equal Slots Added |
|
| Fix Added |
Fixed relation added to point. |
| Fix Slot Added |
|
| Horizontal Added |
Horizontal relation added to spline handles. |
| Intersection Inferred or added |
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 |
The endpoint of the line and the point on the rectangle are merged to create one point. |
| Midpoint Inferred or Added |
Construction line sketched from the midpoint of the diagonal line. |
| Normal Added |
Normal relation added between the line and plane. |
| Offset Inferred |
Larger rectangle is offset by 10 from the smaller rectangle using the Offset Entities |
| On Edge Inferred |
Edges of the solid are projected to the sketch plane using the Convert Entities |
| On Plane Inferred and Added |
Any geometry sketched on a plane. |
| On Surface Inferred |
Point sketched on a surface. |
| Parallel Inferred |
Two lines sketched with parallel relation. |
| Parallel YZ Added |
Parallel relation added to the 3D line and front plane. |
| Parallel ZX Added |
Parallel relation added to the 3D line and front plane. |
| Perpendicular Inferred |
Second line sketched perpendicular to first line. |
| Pierce Added |
Pierce relation added between sketch point and vertical line. |
| Symmetric Inferred or Added |
Relations added using the Mirror Entities |
| Tangent Added |
Tangent relation added to two splines. |
| Tangent to Face Added |
Same slope at the edge of intersection between the face and spline (C1 continuous). |
| Traction | See Using Traction and Belts for Layout Sketches. |
| Vertical Inferred |
Circle sketched with center inferred to sketch origin. |
