---------------
Some users going to NX 8.5 feel that adding Sketch Geometric Constraints is
more cumbersome than previous versions by having to open the Geometric
Constraints menu, selecting the Constraint type, then selecting the curves. Is
there a quicker way in NX 8.5?
Solution
NX 8.5 also introduced the "Sketch Shortcut Toolbar" that will eliminate the
need to open the Geometric Constraints menu.
For example, with 2 perpendicular lines, if you select the end point of one
line and then select the other line, and the constraint options for Point On
Curve / Mid Point / Fixed would be raised. If you select a Circle and a Line
you will get the options for Tangent / Perpendicular / Fixed / Fully Fixed.
Also, note that where you select the curves will make a difference what
constraint options are available.
