In a sketch, with the H/V snapping to the points activated, I can set 2 horizontal (or vertical) points but the horizontal relationship is not created. I have to come back and select the 2 points and ask for a horizontal relationship. Is there a way to create the relationship by putting down the points?
by drawing a construction line
you will have 2 points at the ends
It will be enough to create a horizontal/vertical constraint of this said line
no better on my side sorry

Good evening
Agree with GT22 especially since when you want to measure dimensions in the 3D or in the MEP the construction line simplifies the work a lot, especially if you have several points aligned.
There is a trick that is not very orthodox but works.
When you draw your dots, you have a blue dotted line that allows you to align the dots.
Then just right-click "totally constrain the sketch". From there, the holes that are aligned by the blue lines will have a single side in height for all of them, for example
If none of your holes are aligned then all the holes will be rated according to XY with respect to the origin
Personally I use stitches as little as possible (maybe an old habit of the drawing board :-) ) because it's always the souk to manage: moreover it's less readable in the MEP and it's easy to forget the odds because the points are not clearly visible.
Look, I gave you a snatched example
Kind regards

Hello
For me, there is no need to go back and put a horizontal relationship on a horizontal line (automatic relationship)
That's what I'm looking for for points
Anyway this sketch is used for a repetition pilolated by sketch so I don't want to put a line in it
Hello
As far as I know, it is quite possible to have construction lines in a sketch that is used for a controlled repetition, and even normal lines or text for that matter. The function only uses the points present (at least in the 2017 version) see image below.
Kind regards

@ fcp thank you for confirming ;-)
it was also my way of thinking ;-)

Hello
Indeed, the line is a solution, although we add an entity that normally has no place in the world. It would have been nice to have the constraint by putting the points!
Too bad
