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: Make sure Show Constraints (to visualize detected and created constraints) and Create Detected Constraints are active in the Tools toolbar.

  1. Create a first line.

  2. Create a second line.

    Important: SmartPick can be used to create certain elements on the drawing. More precisely, only the elements which the cursor last went over will be used to apply SmartPick constraints. In other words, you simply need to move the cursor 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.
