Aligning Points Vertically or Horizontally

The Same X tool and the Same Y tool enable you to align selected points either horizontally or vertically relative to another point.

If none of the points are constrained, the points that you select first will move to be aligned with the point that you select last.

If points are constrained, whenever possible, the independent points will move to be aligned with the constrained point.

Note: If the original point is not in the current sketch, you must add it to the sketch as a reference entity.

To align one or more points either horizontally or vertically with another point:

  1. Select the Add Constraints icon   from the Sketcher toolbar.

The cursor will be a pointer-and-grid symbol.

  1. Click one or more points that you wish to align.

  1. Click the point to which the points selected in step 2 will be either horizontally or vertically aligned.

  1. Click the Same X tool or the Same Y tool on the Constraint toolbar.

The points(s) selected first (in step 2) are now either horizontally or vertically aligned to the point selected last (in step 3).

In the example above, none of the points are constrained. If points are constrained, whenever possible, the independent points will move to be aligned with the constrained point.
