Easily delete constraints ??? "March 9 Update"

Anonymous

Cannot see any easy way to delete constraints... Is it possible only to select constraints, And then delete them ?

"Now there is an option in the context menu for you to easily delete constraints."

 

Wondering...
1) Why isn't it possible to turn off the auto constraints function
2) When I hover over the constraints icon the line lights up - When I hover over a line the constraints icon dont lights up, it makes it's very difficult to delete the right constraints, or even find it !

Regards

If you click on a Constrint in the sketch environmentto highlight it  you can just press the delet button on your keyboard.

Or after clicking on it to highlight it, right-click and select delete from the marking menu.

I did not say that's new. I gathered from your description that it might be new to you.

The full text of the item you refer to, I believe, is:

 

"

  • Previously there was no way to delete a coincident constraint from the context menu. The only way to delete the constraint was to select the constraint glyph and hit the DELETE key. Now there is an option in the context menu for you to easily delete constraints.

"

 

So, this is specific to deleting the implied coincident constraint when one or more sketch lines share a point.  Now, if you right click on the shared point, you will see this:

This is new for this update.  It's just a quicker way to break lines apart.

Very cool! Thanks for the screencast. The hidden power and mostly undiscovered area of the selection Filters 😉

Thank you very much, now I understand what it means and yeah it's an improvement, And I think it could get handy
But as you can read it wasn't what I was hoping for.

 

I haven't thought about that. thank you for the video , I think it will make my life so much easier
Now it's only the Nurbs curves there is missing 😉

For some strange reason I can't delete the constraint between the line and the bezier curve

The problem here appears to be that you don't really have a merged point in this case, you have two points on top of each other.  You can tell that by the white point being drawn there.  If a point is shared, it is not drawn.  Or, you can use select other.

 

It turns out that this small line is not constrained to the spline - you can just drag it away.  Then, you can see the point underneath.  From here, you can delete the coincidents:
