Alignment problem

jnewstedt — Wed, 19 Feb 2020 19:01:13 GMT

When I make a simple rectangle, I am unable to use Vertical Constraint to center it to the plane. I get an error: "Adding this constraint will over-constrain the sketch."

What is wrong?

Try a horizontal constraint? Sometimes they are switched. Are you constraining to the mid-point of the line?

It's really any file I try this with.

I've attached a screencast to illustrate what's happening.

Sorry! Sorry, I realised I need to click the center of the line in order for the program to consider it for alignment to the plane.

Thanks for your interest, both of you.

Clicking the center of the line was my problem. Thanks for the help!
