- or -

•A Line and the X–axis / CAD-Line (identical to Vertical Constraint)

- or -

•A Line and the Y–axis (identical to Horizontal Constraint)

Result :

•The two Lines become Perpendicular

- or -

•The Line and Axis become Perpendicular

Notes :

Other terms for 'Perpendicular to...' are: 'Normal to...', 'Right-Angles to...'.
