Description
The 
Sketcher ConstrainGroup tool constrains selected geometry together as a single entity. The position and size of the grouped geometry can be defined by constraining the automatically generated construction line.
Usage
- Select geometry in the sketch.
- There are several ways to invoke the tool:
- Press the
Group Constraint button. - Select the Sketch → Constraints → Group Constraint option from the menu.
- Use the keyboard shortcut: K then G.
- Press the
- The geometry is grouped.
Notes
- Constraints applied to grouped edges are ignored as long as the group constraint is present.
