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 Relation
PropertyManager, and in the FeatureManager design tree.
Indicates sketch geometry that cannot be resolved.
For example, deleting an entity that was used to define another sketch
entity.

OK in the dialog box. The dimension
changes from red (over defined) to grey.

Conflicts
Use SketchXpert to resolve conflicting
sketches.
Under Defined
Generate a combination of
dimensions and relations to fully
define sketch an under defined sketch.
Fully Defined
Appears
as black in the graphics area and under Relations
in the Display/Delete Relation
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.
