Why is my sketch not fully defined?

Hello all,
I've drawn this sketch and all geometric features are black.
Still, the sketch icon in the feature tree displays the "prohibition" sign that indicates the sketch is not fully defined altogether with the "The sketch is no fully defined" message.
Find the file here:
What is missing?
Thanks!

Looking at the picture there may be a couple of blue dots on the end of some lines. Would see to see the document to be sure. can you post a link to a public document?
The link didn't work. (It's a common forum bug). Can you try pasting it again?
Its possible that someone could help if you are in edit sketch mode and have contraints turned on and then post a screenshot. Even then it can be difficult to help untill the broken link is fixed to see what's going on. Its impossible to help from the screenshot you have provided so far.
It's not the end of the world if your sketch is unconstrained. It makes life easier for future you, and, should make it less liable to breaking in interesting and fun ways if you change things in the sketch.
Generally…it's unconstrained if you haven't fixed any point to the origin.
It's unconstrained if any point isn't defined by a dimension horizontally and vertically. This can take the form of constraints/ relationships between sketched geometry.
If there is any blue on your sketch, click, hold, drag…how does it move? What dimension or constraint would stop that movement?
