Coincidence of objects' characteristic points is established with the Merge Points command.

Step-by-step instructions

1.Specify two defining points of objects you want to set as coincident.
If the parameterized point coincides with another object’s characteristic point (you cannot exactly select this point as it is snapped to another object’s point), then you can first specify the object to which the point belongs and after this the point itself. To do this, use the Select the object first, and then its point on the Parameter Panel. Select the required object and specify its characteristic point.

When working with a drawing please note that all the parameterized objects must belong to the same view.

If the existing constraints do not prevent merging of the specified points, then the image will be rebuilt, and after that these points will coincide. The objects that these points belong to will have the Point Coincidence constraint applied.

Additional features for applying constraints...

Constraint Points coincidence can automatically arise when constructing objects in parametric mode. For this, the Setting up the parametric mode In the list Parameterize, the Snaps option should be enabled. The constraint will appear when you enter a defining point of an object using a snap to another defining point (including the point at the origin of the coordinate system), and also when you enter a sequence of objects using the command. Autoline, as well as when splitting one curve into several new ones using commands of partitioning.

Constraints are displayed in the graphic area in the constraint view mode. Coincidence of points is shown with the symbol.
