Summary

This command is equivalent to the Coincident option in GEOMCONSTRAINT.

A constraint point on an object can be made coincident with an object or a constraint point on another object.

Following are the valid constraint objects and points:

Line
Polyline segment
Circle
Arc
Polyline arc
Ellipse
Spline
Two valid constraint points

List of Prompts

The following prompts are displayed.

Select first point or [Object/Autoconstrain] <Object>: Select a constraint point, or an object, or enter a to apply constraints to selected objects

Point

Specifies a point to be constrained.

First Point: Specifies the first point of the object to be constrained.
Second Point: Specifies the second point of the object to be constrained.

Object

Selects an object to be constrained.

Point: Point
Multiple: Picks successive points to coincide with the first object. The Multiple option is displayed when you use the Object option to select the first object.

Autoconstrain

Selects multiple objects. Coincident constraints are applied to selected objects with unconstrained points that are coincident to each other.

The number of constraints applied is displayed at the Command prompt.

When a coincident constraint is applied between a point and an arc or line, the point can lie on the line or arc or the extension of the line or arc.
