Suppose you have 50 sketches, how would you determine which are constrained and which are not?

Question

Accepted Answer

To identify constrained sketches, check for dimensions, relations, and fully defined entities.

Check for dimensions: Constrained sketches will have all necessary dimensions specified.
Look for relations: Constraints like 'coincidence', 'parallel', or 'tangent' indicate a constrained sketch.
Use the status bar: CAD software often shows if a sketch is fully defined or under-defined.
Example: A circle with a defined radius is constrained, while one without is not.
Inspect color coding: Many CAD programs highlight constrained sketches in a different color.

Accepted Answer

By using the Sketch Analysis option, can find the sketch is whether constrained properly or not. And also by seeing the color of the sketch (in CATIA fully constrain means the line will be in GREEN color) can also identify.
