Constraining Multiple Circles to One X-Axis/Y-Axis Dimension

Anonymous — Tue, 02 Feb 2021 02:45:22 GMT

I'm pretty new to fusion 360, and I need some novice help.

Currently in my design, I want multiple circles to have the same x-axis/y-axis constraints, but I can't figure it out. Attached is a picture. All the dimensions circled in red I want to have one dimension in the x-axis or the y-axis to control all of them instead of having multiple dimension stating the same thing. How do you do that?

Having multiple circles with the same x or y dimensions will help with editing the entire project faster and will make the project look more professional. Thanks.

Hi @Anonymous ,

After creating the sketch you can use "Horizontal\Vertical" constraints to align.
I have attached a screencast video to explain.

See Attached file.

Those of us who grew up mid-way through the last century on the drawing board learned that construction lines are your friends.

Also make use of Geometry Constraints like Horizontal, Vertical and Equal as indicated by @dsouzasujay
