Description
The Sketcher ConstrainCoincidentUnified tool creates a coincident constraint between points, fixes points on edges or axes (lines are then treated as infinite, and open curves are virtually extended as well), or creates a concentric constraint between circles, arcs and/or ellipses (by making their centers coincident).
This tool replaces the Sketcher ConstrainCoincident and Sketcher ConstrainPointOnObject tools if the Unify Coincident and PointOnObject option is selected in the preferences.
