Why did the constraints display change?
When I click 'Show Constraints' all I get is a short stub but no constraint symbols. Now I have to click on the 'show sketch diagnostic tools' and 'constraint manager' which is a genuine pain to navigate.

Can I hide construction lines, or dimensions, while viewing a sketch?
Sometimes a sketch can get a bit cluttered, and it would be useful to see the "real" entities without the meta-features, e.g., the construction lines, or the dimensions. Is this possible? I'm picturing a simple toggles, to make one or the other invisible, much like the "Hide planes" toggles.

new FS for (limited) HVAC ductwork analysis (ACCA Manual D)
I'm planning the new ductwork for the house I'm rebuilding and wrote this to report exit velocity and total pressure loss for each "run". Pressure losses have a max allowable level depending on the air handler, and exit velocities should stay above 500 fpm for mixing, but below 700fpm for noise. The normalized debug plots…

Hi Brains trust. I'm trying to make a cover clip for a Cpap vent filter and although I could do it manually using planes and just extruding out each vent hole, I'm trying to learn how to kind of wrap a crurved surface with a pattern and then extrude that pattern out? I've come across this a few times and being of the older…
