Keep a part a set distance from another#

A constraint holds a part in place relative to another, even when you resize or turn the first. Example: four holes that stay 10 mm in from a plate's corners.

Add one#

  1. Press C.
  2. Hover a part. Snap points appear. The one you'd pick turns amber.
  3. Click a point on the first part.
  4. Click a point on the second part.
  5. Type the distance you want in the X and Y boxes.
  6. Press Esc twice when done.

Nothing moves when you create it. It holds the current distance until you type a new one.
