What does the following constraint do in Inventor?

Tangent

• Causes 2 or more line segments to lie on the same line.

• Causes a curve to touch another curve or a straight line at a point without crossing that point.

• Causes lines, axes, or pairs of points to lie parallel to the Y axis of the sketch coordinate system.

• Causes selected line segments to lie in the same plane without intersecting or touching.

What does the following constraint do in Inventor?

Parallel

• Causes selected linear geometry to lie at right angles to each other.

• Causes lines, axes, or pairs of points to lie parallel to the X axis of the sketch coordinate system.

• Causes selected line segments to lie in the same plane without intersecting or touching.

• Causes 2 arcs, circles or ellipses to have the same center point.

Perpendicular

• Causes selected line segments to lie in the same plane without intersecting or touching.

• Causes selected linear geometry to lie at right angles to each other.

• Makes selected elements the same size
