Stopping automatic coincidences?? 1

[FreddyB]

I should know better but how do I stop my sketch lines and circle centres latching onto other geometry in a part? I don't want to turn it off all the time as sometimes it's useful of course but there are occasions when sketches suddenly get over constrained because a line or centre has latched onto an edge or something.

Put me out of my misery please!!

You could Customize your tools bars by dragging the icon for Automatic Relations to a tool bar, or under the Keyboard tab on the Customize dialog window you can map a keyboard short-cut to the Automatic Relations function to turn it off or on.

Hold the Ctrl key down when placing the sketch entity.
