Anonymous — Tue, 30 Jan 2018 14:25:48 GMT

I'm drawing up a table for my wife and i turned the constraints off so i stopped seeing them. however i still get these weird little line that look like two sides of a square. cant select them though. I want to turn this off or at least know what they do.

Hi @Anonymous,

Welcome to the Fusion 360 Community!

Can you take a screenshot of these lines you are seeing and post the image here so I can take a peek? I'm not 100% sure what you are referencing by that.

Thanks,

Hi @Anonymous,

It doesn't seem like anything attached.

If you are replying directly to the email notification, I do not believe attachments work. You will have to attach it directly to a forum post, or hit the Photos button and embed it within the post itself.

Thanks,

Hi @Anonymous,

Ah, those are Coincident constraints symbols. With that being said, you have the option to show constraint glyphs disabled, so I am unsure why this is happening. It might be a bug. Let me check in with some folks on this one.

Thanks,

Hi @Anonymous,

Just learned something new myself! So the sketch palette options operates on a per-sketch basis, meaning that those sketch constraints you see in the background are inherited from other sketches. You will have to edit those sketches and turn off the constraint glyphs for each one.

Thanks,

So can I select the whole drawing (All points) and then just hit the constraints button? Oh and one more follow up question, when I draw it automatically gives a dimension line as well. Can I turn that off?

Hi @Anonymous,

Hmm, let me do some testing regarding your first question. To be honest, I haven't encountered that too much. My guess would be turning the visibility of those sketches in the background off will fix this, but I need to test to see if Window select will work. My guess is it will not.

Regarding the auto-dimension, this is a preference you can change:

Thanks,
