Diagnostic tools for when a set of mates is overspecified

OnShape will tell you a set of mates (or constraints) leads to overspecification, but it's not easy to work out why.  

In excel (for example) there are tools to track errors and relationships.  I probably had something like that in mind - a list of the specific mates or constraints that conflicted and (for those numptys among your users) some suggestions for how to fix them.

    +1 for this. I have spend hours trying to troubleshoot the problem when an sketch is over specified. I suspect this tool could be used for sketches and mates.
