It flashes for a brief moment here (18.04). It also doesn't remove the redundant constraint, which may be what causes problems later in more complex cases.

That's right. I would prefer the last variant though with coincidences everywhere but removing the equality. If this is to be padded, I like to have things coincident. I think that would be easier to keep track of. But what do you mean by padded? If you know the number of constraints consumed by a ...

Is there some intelligient way to learn / intuit that I need a vertical constraint instead of a coincident one? Look at my sketcher tutorial in my signature: If you know the number of constraints consumed by a constraint, you should always have a look at the solver messages. If the number of degree...

There is another buglet: The vertical line has an equality and a vertical constraint. Only the equality is hidden (moved to virtual space), but the vertical constraint symbol is shown if and only if the equality is shown too. I noticed that also but forgot to mention it. It may be a result of previ...

There is indeed something wrong with solving this sketch. If I drag the center of the arc towards the center of the circle, and create the coincidence, parts of the sketch show as being constrained; but they aren't: The center of the arc can still be moved. And if I do so, the color of arc and line...

Yes

I'm running an older (0.18.0.18.4) release and am wondering if the issue I'm seeing is still present, so looking for a sanity check. Load the attached file and edit Sk_RimCross. The arc has been constrained with both endpoints on the circle. The vertical and horizontal bar have been made coincident ...

You have to take out at least two of the circles as well.

Thanks, I discovered that while fixing it (converted them to arcs).

What was the outcome supposed to be? - There are many issues with the sketch. It's not possible to work out what the pad should look like. It also appeared to have several overlapping lines that were not functional. Thanks all for the replies. The goal was to have thin concentric cylinders to serve...

I can't get this sketch to pad, but can't figure out what's wrong with it. I get the message "Failed to validate broken face". Hints? Bug_Rings.FCStd OS: FreeBSD 11.3-RELEASE-p12 Word size of OS: 64-bit Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit Version: 0.18.0.18.4 Build type: Release Python version: 3...
