sketch is not fully constrained

Post by transsi »

What can be the issue

im making same steps in freeecad 0.18 and 0.19.3 and get different results.

create a object and sketch in part design but in 0.19 i get the yello x mark on sketch.
both are done same exact way.

This overlay has exactly the meaning you describe: The sketch is not fully constrained. It is normal that new things are included in new versions. This is one of them. Time to upgrade.

Because 0.19 gives you that extra info. You can work with unconstrained sketches if you want but there will be no guarantee of the proper dimensions. They will not change by themselves but any drag could change them in unexpected way.

There are cases where fully constraining is indeed not needed, e.g. for the length of construction lines, which are used solely to define the center of a mirror, or an outer rectangle used to simulate a boolean "common".

Nevertheless it is good style to fully constrain even those things, just to show yourself that you have thought about everything.

making a pad that is going to be bended according to sketched line.

I don't think so, but if there are rounding issues involved, you could try to make the line longer.
