perpendicular to curve constraint

perpendicular to curve constraint

The «perpendicular» constraint seems to be limited to straight lines.

 

It would be useful to add support for other geometries (circles, ellipses, and splines).

 

This could be implemented with a small modification the tangent constraint solver. All it would take is to impose a constraint at 90º from the tangent line.

+1. Needed very much; even Geomagic Design (which barely works) has part of this one.

Thank you for idea - this is getting archived due to lack of votes. If you feel strongly that this is needed, please resubmit with more detail on why you think this is valuable to Fusion 360 users so that the idea gathers some more support from the community.

A definite +1 from a newbie. If the perpendicular constraint works on straight lines, it makes sense that it would work for any kind of line (including two curves).

 

Lack of votes doesn't mean people wouldn't use this feature if it was available. It probably means they can't be bothered to request it because they can work around this by using combinations of the existing constraints and with the help of construction lines..

I truly despise the voting system.

It gives the illusion of direct democracy / mob rule (which is terrible) while still being at best an indifferent dictatorship (which is also terrible)
