Did you know that some sketch relationships can be added simply by selecting a shared point common to 2\u00a0sketch entities? While we are all familiar with selecting 2 lines to make them perpendicular to each other or selecting a line and an arc to make them tangent, we can accomplish the same thing by simply selecting the common point shared by both entities.<\/p>\n

Relationships Available<\/h1>\n

Just pick on a point connecting 2 sketch entities and look at the relationships available in the pop-up. While some of these are for the point itself, others will be for the elements connected at that point.<\/p>\n

Less Clicks, More Time<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s the small things that can add up to make a big difference. While you are \u201conly\u201d saving a keyboard click and mouse click, think of how many times a day you add these relations and the clicks add up fast!<\/p>\n

Available Since 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n

And if you\u2019re wondering, \u201cHad this always been in the software?\u201d the answer is no, it\u2019s relatively recent in the history of SOLIDWORKS<\/a>: this behavior was added in SOLIDWORKS 2015.<\/p>\n
