Selecting Double or Triple Geometric Constraints

Selecting Double or Triple Geometric Constraints

Selecting Double or Triple Geometric Constraints

(OP)
Hi NX Users,

  While in sketcher & applying geometric contraints, is there a way to select 2 or 3 types of constraints at the same time?

  For example - Having a line go to the mid-point of another line.  I would want point on curve & mid-point.  Is there a way to select at the same time, rather than having to go through the motions twice to get this result?

Thanks
 

RE: Selecting Double or Triple Geometric Constraints

Yes, just hold-down the 'Ctrl' key while selecting the curves/points which you would like to apply more than one constraint to.  In that way, after you select a constraint, the dialog bar will remain open allowing you to make multiple assignments before continuing.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Hi John,

  I knew there was a way.  I was attempting to hold the CTRL, SHIFT or ALT while selecting the contraint options.  It appears that I need to be holding the CTRL while selecting the line & arc entities instead.

Thanks again....
