Automated fault checking

[Vagulus]

I guess I am not alone in that I make mistakes while creating 3D models in FreeCAD so I am interested in any help I can get to ensure that the sketching step is error-free before I move on. When I am about to save a sketch I like to get the message 'Fully constrained Sketch' and I have found two other automated checks: Part --> Part --> Check Geometry and Sketcher --> Sketch --> Validate Sketch.

Are there others? Is there one, giant 'Validate Body' check?

- Recompute and check report view for errors.
- Check Dependency Graph for red arrows.

I downloaded and installed windows_10_cmake_Release_graphviz-install-2.50.0-win64.exe
After reboot I tried it and FC popped a dialog saying it still wasn't installed. Some DLL unreadable problem.

Is the install file corrupted?

You should add where you downloaded it, so others using the same can check.

Just followed the link from the Wiki.

In that same dialog window it gives you the option to choose the path where it is installed. Did you try this option?

I don't know which EXE file to list. There are a few in the BIN folder.

only select the folder

I don't know what exactly the windows install is looking for, but the program actually used is dot.exe.
