Let's create our sketch on the XZ plane. Let's drop our first point, left-click here. Notice as I slowly move to the right, the dimension is dynamically being updated, and on the bottom of my line there is a horizontal inferred constraint. Let's commit to this inferred constraint by left-clicking and hitting escape to disable the line command. Notice the Horizontal/Vertical constraint, which is this one, was applied. And if I would like this line not to be horizontal, we can hover over this constraint, left-click. It is now highlighted in blue, and hit delete. From here, I can grab this endpoint, left-click and hold so we can now move our line freely…
