heron had it. It worked when I entered the path to the folder C:\Program Files\Graphviz\bin.
FC had been looking in C:\FreeCad 0.19\bin.

Gee! Apart from looking for red arrows as a signal that something is wrong, what is that rat's nest suppose to tell me? :?:

Well, it does not indicate the validity of the model (the Check geometry does).

The dependency graph shows how the features of your model tree reference each other. When there is a red arrow it indicates you have a cyclic dependency, which should be avoided.

Red arrows denote also Links going out of allowed scope.

question (just out of curiosity) - why is check geometry in Part and not Part Design?
Because I almost exclusively use Part Design I didn't even know such a thing existed :mrgreen:
just trying to see logic in this...
I am using Link branch and Assembly3
you can also download ... and try it here

The fathers of this weren't aware that you would join some day :lol: .
Joke aside: PartDesign is based on Part, and I guess it's been there forever. I added the icon to my PartDesign.
