Assembly3 ConstraintPointsProjectDistance
Description
The Points project distance command constrains the distance of two 2D points in relation to a Straight line.
Based on the line\'s direction (the z axis of its implicit coordinate system (ICS)) setting the distance of two points along the line means to add the distance value to the first point\'s z value to receive the second point\'s z value (and ignoring the x and y values).
Usage
-
Select two points (2D or 3D).
-
Select a straight line (2D or 3D).
-
Activate the
Points project distance command using the:
