Defining Parallel Geometric Constraints

Use the GcParallel command to make two elements parallel to each other.

To define parallel Geometric Constraints:

  1. Click Constraints > Geometric Constraints > Parallel (or type GcParallel).
  2. Specify the first entity (Line, PolyLine segment, SimpleNote, or Note).
  3. The first entity is the one that maintains position, length, and orientation.
  4. Specify the second entity (Line, PolyLine segment, SimpleNote, or Note).
  5. The second entity is aligned parallel to the first entity.
