- [Instructor] Moving forward, let's discover parallel constraint but first let's create a line, hitting L for line. Let's create a slanted line here, double left click, hitting escape, let's add the constraints, scrolling down. Selecting parallel, selecting this horizontal line and the slanted line. Let's repeat, hitting L once more let's create another line here. Left click, double left click and instead of selecting parallel on our palette I can select both of these lines, holding control and left clicking this line to add in our selection and I can right click and Fusion 360 will automatically suggest the possible constraints for the tool selection. This instance our intent is parallel. Selecting parallel. So notice I've shown you another method of applying constraints without going to our palette. Let's delete these lines creating a crossing selection, hitting delete, crossing selection, and hitting delete. Next, let's discover perpendicular. I'm going to create another slanted…
