Constraints not automatically added to new lines.

Aaronhamming5 — Mon, 21 Mar 2022 22:36:57 GMT

I'm having an issue where constraints are no longer automatically added to newly drawn lines. If I try to draw a line perpendicular off of a different line, there is no constraints given to the new line. I can just drag the newly made line off the existing line and change it to whatever angle, which throws off my dimensioning in the sketch. I don't think that I changed any setting recently, it just kind of started happening today. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance

Is it not adding sketch constraints or maybe you are just not seeing them because you accidentally unchecked this Sketch Pallette box?

I have that box checked. It shows constraints on other lines. Just there will be no constraints automatically added to new lines.

I would close Fusion 360, restart your computer, and open Fusion 360 to try again. If this does not work, create a Screencast showing the exact process you are using where the sketch constraints do not show up and attach it to your Forum post.

Does this happen on all files/sketches? What I would do is clear and restart Fusion. Select a new fresh sketch but make it simple, very simple, and see it the same problem exists. If not perhaps there is some sort of bug in the file where the problem surfaces. Like others have indicated, check the settings. (Or at least the ones one understands, I am not an expert.)

I made a new file and sketch, and all the constraints seem to working as the should. So I guess I will just have to restart my current file. Not the end of the world, thank you for your help!
