Coincident Constraint

In this Task 

• Points will be aligned in the same plane using the Coincident Constraint.

Before you Start 

• Snap modes not required.

Take Note 

• Points 1 and 2 are connected by a constraint. The associated lines will move when the points are aligned in the same plane.
• Menu options for the Default menu and workspace, the Ribbon and Palettes are provided directly under the Command Name heading.

The coincident constraint moves the end vertex of a selected line so that it is collinear with the projected parallel point of another vertex.Points which are fixed by the coincident constraint remain associated until the Points Coincident constraint is deleted.A Points Coincident constraint symbol is inserted to indicate 2 connected vertices.

 

The point shown by 1 will be brought into the same plane as the point shown by 2 in the illustration below. This will be done using the Coincident Constraint.

Point 1 will be aligned to line shown by point 2

Select the Coincident constraint, then select the vertical edge of the line shown by point the cursor below.

Next, select the vertical edge shown by the cursor below.

Both end points of the line have been brought into the same plane by making their points coincident, shown below.

Points 1 and 2 coincident
