Mass remove coincident constraint.

I have drawing with like 400 coincident constraints on it... but no way to select all and remove.. even when setting select only from options.

Please attach your model, at least I think you are talking about a model and not a 2D Drawing. If you do not know how to attach your Fusion 360 model follow these easy steps. Open the model in Fusion 360, select the File menu, then Export and save as a F3D or F3Z file to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section, of a forum post, to attach it.

I tried clearing them with selection filter but wont select.

The best I can come up with is to select an entity then right click and select Delete Constraint from the context menu. This will eliminate the Coincident constraint closes to your select point on the entity. I do not see any method of mass selection as you have already stated.

Another method, which is also tedious but a bit faster is demonstrated in the video. The window selection method in Fusion has three setting, the one I use is started by touching "3" on your keyboard.

Wow ty. for looking and even video. Will try them methods .

Though seem like major feature missing.

Question, is there any way to copy and paste without constraints? i tried holding control key but seems only for drawing.

If you copy and paste a Fusion sketch, the internal sketch constraints will be maintained. The complete copied sketch, even though intact with the internal constraints will not be constrained to the sketch origin that it was pasted.
