Constrain Indicators

[DBC]

Not all constraint indicators are visible in a sketch, such as a concentric constraint (circle center to origin, for instance). How can you delete the constraint if you can see the indicator? Can't see it in first image, pull on the arc a bit and it shows. How can I make that constraint indicator visible?

Hello Don,
press CTRL + LMB and you can move the center of your circle...

Thanks, took a minute to figure out that one has to do what you suggest over the center and drag it away.

From the looks of it, what you're actually describing is a Coincident constraint (centerpoint of the curve to the origin point of the sketch/model) which AFAIK is the only constraint that doesn't get a Sketch indicator, probably because if it did Sketches would be a crowded mess of them since pretty much every line and curve has to have at least two Coincident constraints at their endpoints.

I believe Concentric can only be applied to a pair of curves or circles. If you use the Concentric tool to constrain a point to the centerpoint of a curve, Alibre understands what you're trying to do and applies it as a Coincident automatically.
