Uanble to get info on bad sketch

Anonymous — Thu, 16 Apr 2020 14:30:05 GMT

I have a sketch, which though apparently exceedingly simple, is not closed. I have no argument at all with the fact that the extrusion I want to perform on the sketch will not work.

I DO have an argument with the fact that I can't get any information as to where the sketch isn't closed. Clearly the program has figured this out. All I ask is that it tell me.

the most common reasons why profiles are not shown are:

they are turned off in the sketch:
there is a "leak" in your sketch. Use the "divide and conquer" approach to find the leak: find-leak-in-sketch-geometry
your sketch contains 3D geometry. Look at the sketch edge-wise - is all the geometry on the sketch plane?

It's kind of you to offer help, but what I am asking for is better error messaging from Fusion 360. Clearly the program has found something wrong with the sketch; it think Fusion 360 should help me find it.

Thanks again

Hi @Anonymous,

I understand what you mean.

Found this plug-in which is very useful:

https://apps.exchange.autodesk.com/FUSION/en/Detail/Index?id=appstore.exchange.autodesk.com%3asketchchecker_windows64%3aen

Found it on this site searching for "leak in sketch". I had not found it before as I searched on other terms...

Thanks to all
