While Stripe doesn't support monthly donations, you can still become a sponsor! Simply make a one-time donation equivalent to 12 months of support, and you'll gain access to the corresponding sponsoring tier. It's an easy and flexible way to contribute.

If you are not sure or not able to commit to a regular donation, but still want to help the project, you can do a one-time donation, of any amount.

Choose freely the amount you wish to donate one time only.

You can support FreeCAD by sponsoring it as an individual or organization through various platforms. Sponsorship provides a steady income for developers, allowing the FPA to plan ahead and enabling greater investment in FreeCAD. To encourage sponsorship, we offer different tiers, and unless you choose to remain anonymous, your name or company logo will be featured on our website accordingly.

from 1 USD / 1 EUR per month. You will not have your name displayed here, but you will have helped the project a lot anyway. Together, normal sponsors maintain the project on its feet as much as the bigger sponsors.

from 25 USD / 25 EUR per month. Your name or company name is displayed on this page.

from 100 USD / 100 EUR per month. Your name or company name is displayed on this page, with a link to your website, and a one-line description text.

from 200 USD / 200 EUR per month. Your name or company name and logo displayed on this page, with a link to your website and a custom description text. Companies that have helped FreeCAD early on also appear under Gold sponsors.

Instead of donating each month, you might find it more comfortable to make a one-time donation that, when divided by twelve, would give you right to enter a sponsoring tier. Don't hesitate to do so!

Choose freely the amount you wish to donate each month.

Please inform your forum name or twitter handle as a notein your transfer, or reach to us, so we can give you proper credits!

Sketcher ConstrainDistanceY

Description

The Sketcher ConstrainDistanceY tool fixes the vertical distance between two points or the endpoints of a line. If a single point is pre-selected, the distance is relative to the origin of the sketch.

Usage

See also: Drawing aids.

Continue mode

  1. Make sure there is no selection.

  2. There are several ways to invoke the tool:

    <small>(v1.0)</small> 

: If the **Dimensioning constraints** [preference](wiki-test2.php?gitpage=Sketcher_Preferences#General) is set to {{Value|Single tool}} (default): press the down arrow to the right of the **<img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-documentation/master/wiki/images/Sketcher_Dimension.svg" width=|x16px><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-documentation/master/wiki/images/Toolbar_flyout_arrow.svg" width=x16px>** button and select the **<img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-documentation/master/wiki/images/Sketcher_ConstrainDistanceY.svg" width=16px> Constrain vertical distance** option from the dropdown.

    • If this preference has a different value (and in {{VersionMinus|0.21}}): press the Constrain vertical distance button.

    • Select the Sketch → Sketcher constraints → Constrain vertical distance option from the menu.

    • (v1.0)

      : Right-click in the 3D view and select the Dimension → Constrain vertical distance option from the context menu.

    • Use the keyboard shortcut: I.

  3. For further steps see Sketcher ConstrainDistanceX

Run-once mode

See Sketcher ConstrainDistanceX.

Scripting

Distance from origin:

Distance between two vertices:

Vertical span of line (the GUI allows selecting the edge itself, but it is just a shorthand for using the two extremities of the same line):

The Sketcher scripting page explains the values which can be used for Edge, Edge1, Edge2, PointOfEdge, PointOfEdge1, PointOfEdge2 and Line, and contains further examples on how to create constraints from Python scripts.
