Coincident Constraint, Point on Lines (by MattE)
Is it possible to constrain a point on a series of lines or arcs that themselves have coincident end points? For example, constrain a point to a hexagon such that the point can be made to track seamlessly around it?

No that is not possible, but you can constrain a point to two lines so long as they intersect; useful as the constraint is to the abstract line, and this can find the intersection of the projections of the visible lines. Three or more line constraints will give an error, of either 'over constrained' if they intersect at the same point, or 'insoluble' because there is no common point on all lines.
