Error Message - Item Conflicts
Potential Error Messages
Potential Reasons for These Error Messages
Dimensions or relations are in conflict or are redundant. When you insert
dimensions, they are assumed to be driving dimensions. To
have two dimensions driving the same geometry is invalid.

Over Defined Dimension Example |

Over defined relations display
the over defining sketch entities and relation callouts in yellow.
Over defined dimensions display
in yellow. |

Potential Solution:
Sketch repaired by deleting the redundant 90° dimension.
You can also delete the redundant vertical or horizontal relation to
repair the sketch. |
Potential Fixes
Begin by repairing the first feature with an error in the FeatureManager
design tree, then work down through subsequent errors. Over defined dimensions
and relations are shown in a different color than the resolved sketch
entities.
SketchXpert.
Generates a list of causes for over defined sketches. The list is organized
into Solution Sets. This tool
enables you to delete a solution set of over defined dimensions or redundant
relations without compromising your design intent.
Dimensions.
There are two common ways to fix over defining dimensions.
Delete the over defining dimension in the
graphics area.
Right-click the over defining dimension in
the graphics area and select Properties.
Select Driven, then click OK.
When you add a dimension that over defines
a sketch, the Make Dimension Driven
dialog box appears. To keep the dimension that over defines the sketch
displayed, select Make this dimension
driven, then click OK to
make the dimension a driven dimension that does not over define the sketch.
Relations.
There are two common ways to fix over defining relations.
Select the relation symbol in the graphics
area and press Delete.
Select an over defining entity in the graphics
area to display its relations in the PropertyManager. Delete the over
defining relation in the PropertyManager.
Click Display/Delete
Relations 
on the Dimensions/Relations toolbar,
or click Tools, Relations,
Display/Delete. Use
the Display/Delete Relations PropertyManager
to show all the over defining entities at once, then decide which ones
to delete.
