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

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.

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....
