Probably most of you know this one, and I'll expect some eye rolling. But I posted this to our local message board and was surprised to see how many users didn't know it.
We import a lot of AutoCAD geometry to sketches (I like the old cut-and-past method). Auto dimensions and the move command work well to line things up, but I have always then manually added the necessary relations - vertical, horizontal, and most time-consuming, tangents.
Little did I know, if you select Tools>Relations> there is a "Constrain All" available. Holy cow...this one could have saved me hundreds of hours over the last several years. I hope it saves someone here some time.
