Sketch Geometry Status
Sketches include a status, and sketch entities within the sketch include a state. Sketch entity states are displayed in different colors to facilitate identification.
Sketch states include the following:
Dangling
Appears as brown in the graphics area under Relations in the Display/Delete Relations PropertyManager, and in the FeatureManager design tree.
Original sketch | Sketch with dangling dimensions |
Driven
Appears as gray in the graphics area.
Indicates a dimension that is redundant and cannot be modified.
Item Conflicts
Appears as yellow in the graphics area and under Relations in the Display/Delete Relations PropertyManager.
Under Defined
Appears as blue in the graphics area.
Fully Defined
Appears as black in the graphics area and under Relations in the Display/Delete Relations PropertyManager.
Indicates all required dimensions and relations to sketch entities are present, without redundant or unnecessary elements that cause the sketch to be over defined.
Invalid
Appears as yellow in the graphics area.
Indicates sketch entities that are invalid, creating a sketch without resolution in its current state.
Requires deleting some relations or dimensions, or returning the sketch entity to its prior state.
Splines cannot self-intersect, modifying the Tangent Radial Direction creates an invalid sketch entity.
Item is Unsolvable
Appears in red in the graphics area.
Indicates the geometry cannot determine the position of one or more sketch entities.
Sketch solved with 50 dimension | Sketch is unsolvable with 80 dimension |
