Description
The Sketcher ConstrainPointOnObject tool fixes points on edges or axes. Lines are treated as infinite, and open curves are virtually extended as well.
introduced in version 0.22: This tool is replaced by the Sketcher ConstrainCoincidentUnified tool if the Unify Coincident and PointOnObject option is selected in the Sketcher Preferences.
Usage
See also: Drawing aids.
Continue mode
- Make sure there is no selection.
- There are several ways to invoke the tool:
- Press the Constrain point onto object button.
- Select the Sketch → Sketcher constraints → Constrain point onto object option from the menu.
- Use the keyboard shortcut: O.
- The cursor changes to a white cross with the tool icon.
- Select a single point and a single edge (in any order).
- A constraint is added.
- Optionally keep creating constraints.
- To finish, right-click or press Esc, or start another geometry or constraint creation tool.
Run-once mode
- Do one of the following:
- Select a single point and a single edge (in any order).
- Select several points and a single edge (idem).
- Select a single point and several edges (idem).
- Invoke the tool as explained above.
- Depending on the selection one or more constraints are added.
Scripting
The constraint can be created from macros and from the Python console by using the following command:
Sketch.addConstraint(Sketcher.Constraint('PointOnObject',LineMoving,PointOfLineMoving,LineFixed))
Sketch
is a sketch object.LineMoving
is the number that designates the line, which contains the point that has to be moved onto theLineFixed
(the line which is fixed).PointOfLineMoving
is the number of the vertex of lineLineMoving
, that has to be moved onto theLineFixed
.LinedFixed
is the number of the line to be affixed onto the pointPointOfLineMoving
.
The Sketcher scripting page explains how to identify the numbers that designate lines and points.
