Description
This tool constrains the length of a 2D line like a non-subdivided wire made with the Draft workbench in relation with a work plane.
It links the length of the 2D line with the length of either another 2D line or a 3D line e.g. a straight edge element or a sketch line.
The length value of the first selected line equals the length value of the second line plus a difference value.
- (Or the length value of the second selected line equals the length value of the first line minus a difference value.)
Usage
- Select two lines, of which at least one should be a 2D line.
- Press the
Length difference button. - Set the Difference value in the properties panel.
- Press the
Solve constraints or the 
Quick solve button to recompute

Auto recompute and 
Smart recompute are disabled).
