Sketch.addConstraint(Sketcher.Constraint('PointOnObject',LineMoving,PointOfLineMoving,LineFixed)) 

where :

• Sketch is a sketch object
• LineMoving is the number that designates the line, which contains the point that has to be moved onto the LineFixed (The line which is fixed)
• PointOfLineMoving is the number of the vertex of line LineMoving, that has to be moved onto the LineFixed
• LinedFixed is the number of the line to be affixed onto the point PointOfLineMoving
