Rectangle alignment or snapping

[davossherman]

A silly and basic question, please. 

Context: I have two rectangles within one sketch. I've found videos on aligning the center points of two different rectangles, but not on how to align the legs of rectangles.

I'm unsure if "aligning" is the correct Fusion 360 vernacular or if I should be using the term "snapping," or something entirely different.

Question: I want to:

1. Align the smaller rectangle's right leg to the larger rectangles right leg

2. Align the smaller rectangles bottom leg to the larger rectangles bottom leg

What is the best way to do that?

Bonus appreciation: What is the correct Fusion 360 vernacular?

Thank you in advance!!

Coincident constraint lower right endpoints of each rectangle.

Coincident can be very friendly too (fewer clicks in this case).

Hi GA,

Collinear is my new word of the day and friend.

Many, many thanks for filling that gap for me!

Cheers!

Thank you CadWhisperer!

I'm unsure if I'm allowed to accept two answers in this forum, but this is also a cool way of doing this.

Cheers!
