Tangency relation |
This relation allows an element to be positioned in tangency on another.
Creation Stages / Use:
Click the 
icon or select the 3D sketch > Relations > Tangency... command from the drop-down menu.
Select the two elements to be made tangent: the two elements are moved and the Tangency symbol is displayed between the two elements.
In some cases, it is also needed to select a tangency point. For example to add a tangency between two splines. In this case, the filed is automatically ungrayed. In the common case of a tangency between a line and an arc, it isn't needed and stays grayed.

To delete the Tangency relation, you must select the Tangency symbol then press the Del key on your keyboard and choose the command Delete from the popup menu displayed by right-clicking. |
Modifications / Additional information:
You can quickly create a tangency constraint between a line and an arc by selecting the line or arc close to the tangency point then displacing it until the display of the tangency symbol is obtained.
