Creating Constraints via SmartPick

You can detect, create and visualize constraints using SmartPick. In this scenario, you are going to create two constrained parallel lines.

Before you begin: From the View section of the action bar, select Show Constraints (to visualize detected and created constraints) and from the Sketch section of the action bar, select Create Detected Constraints .

About SmartPick
  1. Create a first line.
  2. Create a second line.
    Important: You can use SmartPick to create certain elements on the drawing. More precisely, only the elements which the pointer last went over will be used to apply SmartPick constraints. In other words, you need to move the pointer over the element you want to use as reference for a constraint.

    No element is picked.



  3. To detect parallelism constraints, go over the line to be used as reference.


    As a result, a parallelism constraint is detected and created.
