Used to constrain a circular 3D element to be tangent to other circular or rectangular 3D elements.

You can access this tool from the following:
  • Ribbon: Modeling > Constraints > 3D
  • Ribbon: Drawing > Constraints > 3D
  • Toolbox: 3D Constraint Tools
SettingDescription
Orientation Sets the orientation of the resultant constrained entities.
  • Automatic - The tool decides itself the best possible orientation of the resulting constrained entities.
  • Facing Opposite - The resulting constrained entities are placed facing each other.
  • Aligned - The resulting constrained entities are placed in alignment with each other.
