Phantom Constraint Icons in Sketch

SHoffmeyer — Thu, 23 May 2024 13:10:38 GMT

Just upgraded from 2022 to 2024, and in sketches I appear to be haunted by these phantom constraint icons. Here's a quick example:

"Display constraints on creation" is turned off, as are all other possible "display" options. I can't click on the icon, and while they appear to show the last implicit constraint that would have been applied, they don't go way when I move off that position, so they don't serve any purpose other than to annoy me. How do I make them go away?

@SHoffmeyer Out of interest, following the upgrade from 2022 to 2024, have you also installed the updates associated with the version? I believe Inventor is currently on 2024.3.

If you don’t know you can check the version inside Inventor. Please see the following:

https://www.autodesk.com/support/technical/article/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Inventor-Build-Numbers.html#:~:text=The%20Build%20Number%20can%20be,and%20Features%20%3E%20View%20Installed%20Updates.

If the current version is bellow 2024.3 install relevant updates and retest to see if the ghost geometrical constraint it still there.

if it is still there, can you share the file you are working on for further examination.
