Description

Selects the constraints of a sketcher element.

Usage

1. Select one or more objects in the active sketch.
2. There are several ways to invoke the command:
   • Click on the Select associated constraints button.
   • Choose the Sketch → Sketcher tools → Select associated constraints from the menu.
   • Use the Z then K keyboard shortcut.
3. The associated constraints will be highlighted in the task panel and the 3D view.
