Description

The Sketcher SelectRedundantConstraints command selects the redundant constraints of a sketch.

In edit mode the Solver messages section at the top of the Tasks panel, one of the following messages will be displayed:

  • Fully constrained sketch

  • Under-constrained sketch with X degrees of freedom

where "X" is the number of degrees of freedom remaining in the sketch. A click on the blue link invokes the Sketcher SelectElementsWithDoFs command.
  • Over-constrained sketch (X)

where "X" is a list of the index numbers of the conflicting constraints in the sketch. A click on the blue link invokes the Sketcher SelectConflictingConstraints command.
  • Redundant constraints (X)

where "X" is a list of the index numbers of the redundant constraints in the sketch. A click on the blue link invokes this Sketcher SelectRedundantConstraints command to select all redundant constraints.

Usage

  1. In Sketcher edit mode there are several ways to invoke this command:
    • Click on the blue link in the Tasks panel as described above.
    • Select the Sketch → Sketcher tools → Select redundant constraints option from the menu.
    • Use the keyboard shortcut: Z then P, then R.
  2. The redundant constraints of the sketch will be selected.
