Use this to ...
- Makes two lines have the same angular alignment.
- Play the video for a demonstration on how to assign a parallel constraint. Do not adjust your volume; there is no sound associated with this video.
Key Points
- Makes the first line parallel to the second line
- Parallel displays as two small parallel lines on each object.
Prerequisites
- Solid Edge must be in the Profile mode. Profile mode is automatically activated when creating a sketch feature or creating a profile for a feature.
Process: Creating a Parallel Relationship
1. Click Parallel on the Features and Relationships toolbar.
2. In the Graphics window, pick the first line.
3. Pick the second line. The first line moves parallel with the second line and a small set of parallel lines display at the center of the selected lines.
4. Continue picking lines until all parallel constraints are assigned.
