Auto Constraints

During drawing input, if the Auto Constraints Cursor mode is on, symbols are displayed confirming snapping to either of:

  • Coincident, depicted by the letter C

  • Coincident Point, depicted by the letter P

  • Horizontal, depicted by the letter H

  • Vertical, depicted by the letter V

  • Parallel, depicted by the parallel symbol: //

  • Tangent, depicted by the letter T

  • Perpendicular, depicted by the perpendicular symbol: ⊥

  • Equal Radius, depicted by the letter R

Note that Cursor and Global Auto Constraint modes can add noticeable time to sketch operations on very complex sketches, or with multiple sketches in a plane, so you can control whether or not you want them on (see Auto Constraints on the Constraints menu).
