Sketch constrains

shajan_k_thomas

Could someone tell me how to apply constraints between entities located in two different sketches?

You would apply them in the exact same way, however the relationship can only solve in order of creation - or in other words, Sketch 1 can drive entities in Sketch 2 but not the other way around.

Hi and welcome.

Some will work just fine without doing anything at all.  For example I just used coincident constraint and tangent constraints on geometry on different sketches.  If your geometry isn't happy with that then have a look at the "use" function.  This will project geometry from one sketch to another, which you can then constrain to.

@KatieHuffman

used this:- https://cad.onshape.com/help/Content/Search.htm?q=use and received no hits.  Is the search inhibiting small words?  I found what I was after another way but only because I already knew what I was looking for.  Could this be tweaked?
