Introduce a Parallel Constraint

Introduce a Parallel Constraint

There is currently no dedicated constraint for making two faces or axes parallel to each other.

I am referring to a constraint that behaves similarly to an angular constraint set to 0° or 180°, but without defining a fixed distance between the selected entities.

Such functionality could either be introduced as a new Parallel Constraint or integrated into the Mate Constraint command as an additional option (for example, a "sliding distance" mode).

This would simplify many assembly workflows where orientation needs to be controlled while allowing unrestricted movement along the constrained direction.
