Description

The Sketcher SelectConstraints tool selects the constraints associated with sketch elements.

Usage

1. Select one or more sketch elements.
2. There are several ways to invoke the tool:
   • Press the Select Associated Constraints button.
   • Select the Sketch → Visual Helpers → Select Associated Constraints option from the menu.
   • introduced in 1.0: Right-click in the 3D View and select the Select Associated Constraints option from the context menu.
   • Right-click in the Elements section of the Sketcher Dialog and select the Select Constraints option from the context menu.
   • Use the keyboard shortcut: Z then K.
3. The associated constraints are selected.
4. Optionally click in an empty area in the 3D View to clear the selection.
