Fix

Answer

Horizontal

Answer

Vertical

Answer

Angular

Question 14

What is the key difference between a coincident constraint and a tangent constraint?

Accepted Answer

Coincident constrains two points to the same location, while tangent constrains two curves to touch.

Answer

Coincident constrains two curves to touch, while tangent constrains two points to the same location.
