Constrain To Axis

[Lonnie.Cady]

Is it possible to constrain a sketch segment collinear to an axis?

I have tried and can't figure it out.

Hi

The way I found to make a sketch collinear to the axis is on the sketch "project" the Axis in this case YY and XX, to center the sketch so can use the features like symmetries, this a small example the image below

Thank you that works well.  Coming from SW I was used to being able to dimension to the the origin planes and axis and not really sure what to do here.

Keep in mind that Fusion 360 has just over one year, and SW has decades of development 😉

Thanks, I did not want to imply that SW was better, just how I was used to doing things.  I know each software has its own method and wanted to learn the Fusion way and only used SW as a reference that I was used to.

yes the same here, i used to work with SW, and learning Fusion
