Description

The Colinear command constrains two 2D lines such as non-subdivided wires made with the Draft workbench in relation with a work plane.

It links the positions of both 2D lines in a way that the origin of one line's implicit coordinate system (ICS) lies on the z axis of the other line's ICS with both z axes pointing in the same direction.

Usage

1. Select two 2D lines.
2. Activate the Colinear command using the:
   • Colinear button.
3. Press the Solve constraints or the Quick solve button to recompute

(if Auto recompute and Smart recompute are disabled).

Notes

This tool accepts a 3D elements as well e.g. edges or center lines.

• 2D/3D or 3D/2D: Instead of the 3D elements z axis the projection of that axis onto the 2D line's workplane is used to position the lines.
• Both 3D: The lines are positioned to one another but I can't figure out how...
