Moving my not totally constrained sketch creates conflicting contraints

gauthier_östervall

This is happening:


My sketch is nearly all blue, I can move the unconstrained geometries around... But up to a point where the sketch cannot be resolved anymore. From there, I can't move the sketch geometry anymore.

What could possibly be happening?

Here's another funny behavior, I guess it's related:

Can’t tell just by looking at it. Please share the URL. For the first case, try holding shift while you drag. It is likely adding an inferred constraint that conflicts.

I think this is solved now. There was a conflict between both Use contraints on Points (second gif), and the fact that the construction line between them was constrained to vertical. Strange that it resolves fine in some geometries but not others. The points from Use don't move.

The constraints were redundant anyway, and removing Vertical solved it.

@gauthier_östervall ,

There is a sketching trick in video that @e@Evan_Reese posted recently, that may help.  By default Onshape creates many sketch constraints automatically (horizontal, coincident, perpendicular, etc.).  Often this is a helpful productivity improvement.  But it can also get in the way, as you have seen when dragging sketch entities results in over-constraint.

Evan demonstrated that holding down the SHIFT key disables auto-constraints.   This may help with some of the issues that you are encountering.

Good luck.
