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.

Sketch with dangling dimensions

Driven
When you add a redundant dimension, you can select Make this dimension driven and click OK in the dialog box. The dimension changes from red (over defined) to grey.
Item 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.
