MakerSolidSketch tool
Horizontal / Vertical
Constrain a line to the nearest horizontal or vertical sketch direction.
Purpose
Constrain a line to the nearest horizontal or vertical sketch direction.
Where to find it
While editing a sketch, open Constraints and choose H/V.
Selection
- Tap one straight line.
Steps
- Choose H/V and tap the line.
- Confirm it snaps horizontal or vertical.
Options
Result
A Horizontal or Vertical constraint is added to the line while existing shared corners remain connected. Applying the same relationship again does not add a duplicate. An incompatible relationship is rejected without changing the sketch.
Editing
Use Manage Constraints in a relationship constraint panel and delete the orientation constraint to rotate the line freely.
Troubleshooting
The line chooses the undesired orientation.
Undo, rotate it closer to the intended axis, and apply H/V again.
