Why is my sketch not fully defined?

msandeepmsandeep Member Posts: 15

I am not seeing any blue anywhere, yet the tab to the left says sketch not fully defined. What gives?

    Saw some lines that looked too heavy and found a couple of duplicate lines in the area shown below. Got rid of those but still didn't fix the sketch. - Scotty

    I won't say this is the case, but I had a sketch that had a point,microscopically close to a defined point, and was very hard to see (blue dot under a black dot kind of situation). This condition kept throwing the undefined warning.

    Found the problem by erasing one line at a time - using the undo command, (if the problem was not found). Not a very elegant solution, and it did take a while to find the offending item. Maybe others have a better solution

    Wouldn't it be nice if there was yellow highlighting (like in drawings, that need updating) for unresolved sketches. Or even have different line weights for blue and black entities (lines and dots) so as to better show underlying, unresolved issues. Just wishing.

    Yeah, I think that might be the problem. Would be really nice to have overlapping lines show up in different colors.

    OK, I found the problem - one single point at the origin! No idea how it got there, but that's what the issue was!
