MakerSolid Documentation Version 1.5.2

Sketch tool

Fix

Lock or unlock supported sketch geometry at its current position and size.

Purpose

Lock or unlock supported sketch geometry at its current position and size.

Where to find it

While editing a sketch, open Constraints and choose Fix.

Selection

  • Tap an entity once to select it and again to toggle its fixed state.

Steps

  1. Select the entity.
  2. Tap again to lock it; repeat to unlock.

Options

Lock / Unlock

The current fixed state determines whether the second tap adds or removes the fixed constraint.

Result

Fixed geometry resists solver movement until the constraint is removed.

Editing

Use Fix again or the Transform contextual control to remove Fixed.

Troubleshooting

Other dimensions become over-constrained.

Remove Fixed before adding dimensions that need to move or resize the same entity.
