Fix Line Direction

General

• You can fix the direction of the line and at the same time determine its exact direction numerically.
• When you are drawing a line in a sketch by using the cursor direction lock in angles 45° or 135°, the program sets a direction constraint to the line.
• You can prevent the cursor from snapping in the direction of the ruler by pressing the Alt key, for example when drawing a line.
• In sketch geometry, the symbol for the parallel constraint is an arrow parallel to the line .
  • You can use the F9 key to show and hide the symbols of the constraints.
